An example of the extreme emotional power that music can elicit. Masterfully written, powerfully delivered. Not for the recently brokenhearted; this is the SADDEST song ever recorded :
I love the diversity of this thread. Musically, lots of soul-stirring. It's interesting, however, that once in a while a singer/songwriter/arranger can musically convey THE SOLUTION to what's going on in our world :
"More so than a number of other Motown songs, there is real sentiment and pain behind the song's words. Lyricist Penzabene had just found out his wife was cheating on him with another man. Unable to deal with the pain and unable to stop loving his wife, Penzabene expressed his pain in the lyrics of this song and its follow-up on the Temptations' release schedule, "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)". The distraught Penzabene committed suicide on New Year's Eve 1967, a week after the single's release."
Government Moto:
"Why fix it? Blame someone else for breaking it."
