This Motown classic was originally recorded by Barrett Strong in 1959. Strong became a writer for Motown, and worked on some of The Temptations hits. The song was written by Motown chief Berry Gordy with help from an assistant at the company, Janie Bradford.
The Beatles performed this at their audition for Decca Records in 1962. They didn't get the deal, but were singned on their next audition, which was for Parlophone Records. Decca did sign Brian Poole And The Tremeloes.
Beatles producer George Martin played the piano. John Lennon sang lead.
