First single release in the UK for Motown legends The Temptations in 1965. And I can’t believe that it only reached number 43 in UK Charts. (#1 U.S.A) Bass performance James Jamerson. Tab by bass50611. Wish I had a £1 for Every time I played this with my band and this is what I played including How we used to end the song.
