Heard this song this morning while out for my run and had to crank it up. Love Motown!! Love The Temps. I really need to get a condensed Motown Greatest Hits. All mine are in Michigan in 45 version. Love the intro but whole song is great!! TIS
Supposedly the songwriter/producer Norman Whitfield did not think that new primary lead singer Dennis Edwards was giving him quite the desired intensity. So he put the line "It was the third of September" in the song knowing full well it would greatly irritate Edwards, whose (beloved and non-deadbeat) father really HAD died on the third of September...
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
