El tema original lo grabó Little Eva allá por el 1964 y luego ha sido versionado en multitud de ocasiones.
Un poco después lo versionaron
Y una de las últimas fue kylie Minogue.
Y por último traigo una versión más cañera de Grand Funk Railroad.

Los 150 mejores de la Motown 37
Unos de los más grandes dentro de la Motown fueron los Temptations, por los que debo confesar que siento cierta debilidad, y aunque ya tienen en la lista varios de sus temas más emblemáticos, esta selección no se puede cerrar sin incluir algunos menos conocidos pero no por eso menos brillantes.
nº 131 The Temptations (1965) - "Since I Lost My Baby"
nº 132 The Temptations You're My Everything Letra
You surely must know magic girl
Cause you changed my life
It was dull and ordinary
But you make it sunny and bright
Now, I was blessed the day
I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
When my way was dark and troubles were near
Your love provided the light so
I could see girl
Just knowin your love was near when times were bad
Kept the world from closin in on me girl
I was blessed the day
I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
Baby, you're part of every thought
I think each day
Your name is in every phrase my lips sing
Every dream
I dream is about you
Honey I can't live without you
Baby (baby), baby (baby), baby
You're my everything, you're my everything, yes you are
(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're the girl
I sing about in every love song
I sing (You're my everything)
You're my winter baby, my summer, my fall and spring (You're my everything)
Now I was blessed the day
I found you Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
You're my everything, you're my everything, yes you are
(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're my everything, you're my everything
(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're my everything, you're my everything
(When my way was dark and troubles were near, your love provided a light so
I could see girl.
Just knowing your love was near, times that were there kept the world from closin in on me girl.
nº 133 The Temptations - Ain't Too Proud To Beg Get ready fue escrito por otro de los grandes de la Motown, Smokie Robinson y aunque el sonido no es muy bueno, las imágenes no tienen precio.
