This song has the rising lift of the Supremes Baby Love, the Northern Soul staple of a driving four to the floor, and a the vocals of Evie Sands. And really you don’t need anything else for the perfect song.
Like Kiki Dee, Evie has a depth and range that is rare. And like Kiki she never really achieved the fame her talents suggested she would have.
And here is the legendary Evie live

Evie Sands
Brooklyn born Evie Sands was born into something of a musical family. Her mother was a singer and Evie seems to have been inspired to learn the keyboard and guitar as well as to sing by both her mother and exposure to the diverse range of performing artists from Billie Holiday to Jackie Wilson and the Beatles.
Prior to release “Take me for a little while” was stolen and given to Chess records who recorded and released a version before Red Bird. This would set the tone for much of Evie’s career and her fantastic vocals would never reach the audience that she deserved.
