I first knew this song in its 1980s cover by Phil Collins, and when I later heard The Supremes' original it was striking how true to it Collins' version had been. This arrangement thus takes both versions as reference points, whilst shortening the song slightly and reharmonising in places to bring it into the world of contest barbershop.

N.B. This arrangement is notated in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.

Vocal Ranges:
Tenor: E4-E5
Lead: A3-C5
Bari: C4-B4
Bass: E3-F4
