There first Greatest Hits album remains one of the best collections in rock and soul history. This particular number, written by Smokey Robinson, is just an example of the superlative quality of the early Temptations. Rappers are hackers compared to the great Smokey. Like most of the great British acts, The Beatles were devout students of American soul music. I like all of the Beatles work but this early love song is still my favorite.
White people do have soul.
As gentle as the rain. And they continue to blow my mind every time I listen to this classic soul song.
