The Funkadoobian says: Packaging

Was (Not Was) take on The Temptations’ soul masterpiece, transforming the 1972 Motown classic into a darker, funk-driven version with a distinctly 80s edge. Built around a hypnotic bassline, atmospheric keyboards and a tight, dancefloor-ready groove, the track retains the original’s brooding feel while adding the quirky production and alternative-soul sensibility that defined the duo’s sound. A bold reinterpretation of one of soul music’s greatest records, this 7-inch is a strong pick for funk and soul DJs, disco enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate a fresh angle on a timeless classic.
