Reak it's "On The Avenue" aka "In The Neighborhood" Ist time I seen it was on a Jobete Acetate a mate had up here, was uncredited, but think on "Cellarful Of Motown" they had it down to Jimmy Ruffin... might be wrong tho!

The Gladys Knight track is beautiful- I bought an tape at the 100club of unreleased Motown and it was on there. Recording was shite though and the track stopped 3/4 way thru.... :ohmy: Any chance of putting a soundfile of it up here?? :thumbsup:

All the recording of this top Gladys Knight track are poor scratchy quality, even the one on the spectrum CD. They must have lost/misplaced the mastertape. The spectrum tracks must be a vinyl acetate dub.
