Probably off one of the Goldmine Groovesville cd's mate. They had several versions. One was called Pigsfeet!

That's what I thought Pete, but if you read the comments on youtube below the clip above, he says he has it on Golden world 45?

Meanwhile, “I’ll Love You Forever” - featuring Edwin Starr’s overdub - had been shipped to record stores with a super-charged instrumental called “Makin’ Up Time” on the B-side. Copies were being bought like proverbial hot cakes and Golden World needed a group to go on the road. With Tony Hester having pulled out of the group to focus on writing and producing, Eddie Anderson was drafted in to fill the fourth spot.

It's right though isn't it - Edwin does do the vocals on I'll Love You Forever, and Makin Up Time is on the B side?  (Not the version above though)

 a new group in Detroit named The Holidays was about to record a big smash, with his under-contract Edwin Starr leading the group and Don Davis producing.

When I interviewed Don Davis, I asked him how Edwin Starr came to be on “I’ll Love You Forever”. He said Mr. Wingate had wanted a more powerful vocal delivery. Yet when Rick Pack interviewed Edwin Starr for Soul Survivor magazine in the mid-80s, Edwin stated:

“There was no such group as the Holidays at the time. I got tricked into doing that. I went by the studio one night and producer Don Davis said, ‘Edwin, great to see you. Will you show these guys how to sing this song?’ A couple of weeks later, I hear ‘I’ll Love You Forever’ on the radio and I thought they must have got some other guys to sing it. Then I realized the voice coming out of the radio was mine! At the end, the DJ announced the group’s name as The Holidays. I thought, The Holidays! Who the hell are they?”

Meanwhile, back to the music...it seems a little...ummm...pedestrian to start with, but hits the groove midway through. So was this an earlier run-through, and possibly the only take found on the Groovesville tapes?

No Jerry there's several more.  Or at least one more. One really slow version.

Oh, right, thanks Pete :-)...just listening to the first few bars reminded me of some of the Popcorn Wylie instrumentals though...
