Bill (message 3), I can't find a video with Percy Sledge singing it, but how about the original sung by the composer (King of Soul), Otis Redding singing live at the Monterey Festival. Unforgettable...... Brings back memories to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBiUFhYMu2s



Glad you like the track, it's one of my favourites as well.

I Can't Help Myself (FOUR TOPS) is claimed to be the first ever '45' spun at a Northern Soul Allnighter. I say that's a big claim, but the track must be (if not the best) one of the best dancing songs ever recorded. Holland Dozier & Holland knew what they were starting. Here's an old video clip from an early American TV music show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aigRZ-1LjH0&feature=related.



Here's another top Four Tops dancing recording also written by HDH with Something About You

Both tracks are on the show in the morning,
