At the time when this was recorded, the Miracles had internal disagreements, mainly about the finance. Robinson had already decided to leave the group and was only waiting for a good timing for it. Due to the success of this single and the 1970 mega success "The Tears of a Clown" (#1 in US, US R&B and UK), Robinson decided to stay a bit longer and didn't leave the group until 1972.
