  • No copyright infringement intended. Credit to composers and artists. For historic and informational purposes only. The classic Miracles' track that initially was an album track from the LP "Make It Happen (1967)". Brit Motown fans begged for it's re-release in 1970, when it was reworked with more punch...and it was, of course, a hit. Of note...the bassoon was played by Charles Sirard and piccolo by Jim Horn. A huge thanks to Tom Moulton for his amazing remix so I could stretch it!
    And also check out my 4 other versions of this great song...thanks!!

    Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.

      @@broddybounce I’m so scared that this channel will be taken down. What I loved about John’s work was a couple things. I hated that all those beautiful Motown records were only 2:30 long and wished they were longer because I couldn’t get enough. Secondly when I used to listen to those old R&B records I listened for particular instruments like the bass or drums or the piano part and when I heard how he was about to separate out those instruments in each song it blew my mind. This really sucks man and now I feel like one day I’m going to wake up and all this will be gone. People have no idea how valuable these remixes are because he created them for lovers of music who are used to hearing and dancing to longer playing music. Bummer. Shit I need a hug. Hahaha. 😢

      The 5 Stairsteps was from my hood, just across the tracks, called Euclid Park. The cousins of Freddy Hubbard, the Hubbard's lived across the street from me and they played the horns (sax & trumpet.... James & Lonnie), Chakra Khan stayed nextdoor to them when visiting her grandmother and across the alley on occasion Herb Kent (The Cool Gent) would often broadcast live from home on WVON 1450.
