This 1963 single finds Holland, already a burgeoning solo star, leaning into the sophisticated, orchestral arrangements that would soon define his songwriting and production work for others. Though not as successful as his later work, it showcases the developing sound of one of Motown's most crucial figures.

Eddie Holland was an American singer, songwriter, and producer. He was a principal architect of the Motown sound, first as a hit solo artist and later as a songwriter and producer.
