When I pulled the young sprog, who keeps playing it, and played him the original on my phone and told him it was from 1974, his face was a picture !!!!!.
I don't think this has been mentioned before, this little ditty keeps getting played on the pub jukebox.
No prizes for guessing which track has been sampled for the backing.
As Richie says, another sad passing, and as Fred says another character from the scene makes an all too early exit. RIP Dodger, we had our differences, but we were just kids at the time and didn't know any better.
I would have thought that a large percentage of the studio musicians, on most of the labels releasing soul stuff, were actually jazz musicians first and foremost, not just the Motown stable.
Its always been obvious to me that the "Motown" sound owes much to big band jazz.
I reckon its a good bet that Volt had master tapes with several takes/mixes of the backing track, its probably one of those, plus with multi track recording its quite easy to remove the vocals/backing and bring up/tone down certain instruments etc.
As has already been said, some of us on here are interested in your point of view. However your rather obtuse attitude is challenging my attention span, it would be helpful if you could point us further in the right direction, rather than arguing the toss.
Here's a bit more from the same venue, scroll down to video, the standard is a touch better than the Cleethorpes DJ's IMHO.
