...No it's not.

Incidentally, Smokey and the Miracles were the first act to record IHITTG, although their first version was not originally released. Their second version was also cut before Gladys Knight's and Marvin Gaye's, but not released till afterwards..

...Same basic backing track but a much more urgent vocal from Smokey and a better mix!
