Interesting credits on the label, Wonder, Moy, Cosby. So the three are Stevie Wonder, Sylvia Moy and would it be Bill Cosby?; always wondered or is it just a coincidence. I have considered playing it at the Central but it's a difficult one to dance to. Regards Fred. 

Too late to answer, as someone beat me to it. Then again, buggered if I knew the answer anyway! As to playing it, why not? What's to lose? OK, one or two may damage a hip, sprain an ankle, or get chest pains, but that's a common enough danger even getting up out of bed for most of us these days eh? Spin it, you know you want to really! :-)

P.S. Take a look at the pics I posted recently in the members photos section. One of the pics has a couple of the Central crowd from 73-74 in it.

No problem.

Re Henry Cosby, he was an original funk brother and played around Detroit with all the players we associate with the funks. (Saxophone/horns).

However, if you saw the film "standing in the shadows of Motown", and many subsequent articles , he rarely gets a mention. I think the reason was that following Mickey Stevenson's defection to MGM, Cosby took over the role of the musician's contractor...basically moving from shop floor to management. It seems to me that the others took a dislike to him/the situation, as I'm sure that this has been reported .

He co-wrote/produced a lot of Stevie Wonder stuff with Sylvia Moy and Stevie. ( amongst others).
