A classic bit of Philadelphia soul by the Stylistics. Just the thing on a Sunday, as the world awaits more news from Tehran. (Tibbsy’s commentary on the song, on the sidebar of the YouTube clip itself, is worth a read.)
[Update: I can’t help but marvel at the song’s construction, mostly revolving around an E minor 9-A minor 7 cadence. But the long rideout at the end is a II-V vamp, Em to A7, which grooves along over a slinky nine-beat pattern. The Am7 creeps back in for just a beat or two, at the end of each cycle. Genius.]
