[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children) It's a cover, btw. The original is by The Undisputed Truth. Bonus fact: Edwin Starr's ‘War’ is a cover of The Temptations. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works [S] 0 points 2 months ago (1 child) TIL permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago Although I just figured out today that both versions were produced by Norman Whitfield, who also co-wrote the song. He was a resident producer at Motown at that time. So he basically re-recorded the song changing the bands — but also The Temptations' album version is much longer than the one with The Undisputed Truth. permalink fedilink source parent
