While it has since been re-recorded by Motown's Jr. Walker & the All Stars and was a #1 cover for James Taylor in 1975, Gaye's version remains the most notable. Gaye's original peaked at #7 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart, and #4 on Billboard's Soul Singles chart, making it Gaye's most successful single to that point. The song features Gaye mixing both falsetto and tenor singing, a rareity in soul music.
