Hope you enjoy. Higher and Higher
music *ping*
Absolutely the most hideous remake ever!! The bassline alone is enough to make you suicidal, and her soulless vocals only add to the misery.

Check out this version by an amateur English woman

Beautiful woman, but her politics are woeful.
This is a men's chorus cover. I'm sure you'll like it.

Me ears thank you! Maybe now I can finally put that execreble Rita Coolidge version out of my head forever!
Get it that you have a Jones for Rita Coolidge what whatever possessed her to cover that song, Jackie Wilson OWNED it, hands down.
Sarah Collins did a hella better job than Rita.
Thanks for the link.
You’re welcome. She has a ton of others on YouTube.
I didn't even bother listening to Rita's version. Based on the comments here, looks like my instincts were right.
I’m usually not the kind of person to jump on the Cultural Appropriation thing, but white folks should not be covering Motown, or any other 60s classic soul songs, it just ain’t right.
Pretty voice and she was lovely.
if ya wanna listen to Rita...
