I like Chuck's LP effort best ...

im afraid i havent heard too many versions myself - just Gladys, Chuck & Dynamics i think but Gladys is probably my favourite thus far.

any chance of getting soundclips for the others?

There are actually three versions of ANSSYBG by Gladys and the Pips on Motown, the third being a 'live' one, done with the uptempo arrangement. Think it was on a various artists live album originally, it's just been reissued as a bonus track on one of the recent series of UK Motown 2-On-1's...

..Temptations unbeatable on this song IMO, and BTW. One of the definitive "why on earth wasn't THAT released as a single" tracks from Motown...

The best version of Gladys's is an LP only track and is faster and a different take. I have the LP and without dragging it out it has a huge Pink Heart on the sleeve. The 45 is a lot slower.

I have the Gladys Knight version on tape from the Pendelum. So it is the one with longevity.

Never heard the Temps. Where can I hear it?
