it was a white label demo record and five hundred were cut but motown owner berry gordy ordered them destroyed before they were sent out to radio stations , he new it would have been a hit but didnt want the artist frank wilson changing from a song writer to singer! but two avaded destruction , the other copy is in canada.

hi ron , sorry to dissapoint you but the answer is no , this record is on more northern soul cd compilations than any other over a hundred different ones im told. motown released the record in the late seventies after it became a huge it on the then underground northern soul scene, these pressed seven inch singles were on the ususl black and gold motown label, the record in question was a origanal studio cut for radio station plays and was on a white motown demo label called SOUL. if you have one of these you RICH! as i said in first post only two known in world.
