I found this track on YouTube and ripped it and wanted to have it as a selection on one of my jukebox wall boxes. The original, was by the Stylistics, covered by Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross in the Seventies, but I like this better. It's a bit of a labour. The selections are on a dedicated playlist on a 20 year-old iPod. As the wall box can only select 160 mp3s (any can be a whole CD if you want it to, but you can't play individual tracks on them). I have to connect the iPod to my laptop, then open iTunes and find the playlist, usually it can't find a couple of tracks, so I have to add them. Then I have to remove one I don't want to include the new one. I have to be careful I put it in the right place on the playlist, otherwise all the title cards will play the wrong track. Then "sync" the iPod and check it has all 160 selections. I then have to print off a new title card for the selection. The biggest problem is remembering how to do it! As I don't often change the selections. I've a choice of 160 mp3s on each box, plus I've a spare title card magazine so that gives me 160 more. Each requires its own iPod What pleases me most about my vintage system is it all works! I added the track to a playlist on an MP3 stick in my car, that took about 30 seconds!
I remembered, I still had amongst all my old albums, the Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross one which included that track. I must have had it since 1972. So I dug it out and played the track for the first time in about forty years, on the turntable I bought in the same year. It is at a slightly quicker tempo. I still prefer the other one.
