The version The Chi-Lites did of the title track from this album (with Mr. Record on falsetto vocals), used the exact same backing track as Ms. Acklin's version. I have:
- the promo 45 of Ms. Acklin's record;
- the A Letter To Myself album that contained The Chi-Lites' version; and
- the Chi-Lites 45 where it was the B side to their proto-disco "Stoned Out Of My Mind"
Reusing instrumental tracks for "other" versions was an unfortunate habit with Brunswick. Besides this example and "Am I The Same Girl" (whose instrumental backing was also used for Young-Holt Unlimited's "Soulful Strut"), there was "You Got Me Walking" which, before Jackie Wilson recorded it, the same instrumental backing track was used for a Chi-Lites' version that was on their (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People album; "Being In Love" (featured on the group's A Lonely Man LP and as the B side to their pop and R&B chart-topper "Oh Girl"), whose instrumental backing was also used for a version by The Artistics which was the flip of their version of "It's Those Little Things That Count"; and I remember reading that the instrumental track for Mr. Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher" was reused for an early 1970's version by Dana Valery on an album she recorded for the label.
The title track is probably my third favourite of Barbara's (after "Love Makes A Woman" and "Just Ain't No Love" - "Am I The Same Girl" is my fourth); a gorgeous marriage of Barbara's voice, strings, organ, guitar, and backing vocals by the Chi-Lites, who later did their own version, which may or may not have been this version with Barbara's voice replaced by Eugene's, I'll have to dig out their respective "Complete on Brunswick" CD sets to check.
