Dave was raised in an integrated school and he's got the Soul in his blood. That's how he could pull off a Martha Reeves and the Vandellas tune with success.

I think the controversy of the Sisters not digging this song to do is hilarious and a contradiction.

WHY, if they hated it so much, would they re-release it on their "Best of" Volume 1 ?

They should have released "Little Dreamer" or D.O.A. or a host of other tunes, if they didn't like it. BUT the truth of the matter is, it was fans like us that gave the Radio Stations the statistics to show it got rave reviews....chalk another brilliant move by ROTH.

I'm Dancing in the Street about this truth!!

I never saw the problem with them doing DITS. They Rothalenized it nicely.

they used to do that KC and the Sunshine Band tune and they rocked the fuck outta that bitch too.

take a good song and make it betta I always say...
