This is a different mix - still prefer the released version but this is interesting. This was the original version of What Becomes of the Broken Hearted with an acapella intro and spoken intro, similar to lou Rawls style. The spoken bit was removed leaving an unusual instrumental into on the released version. Composers Weatherspoon and Riser and lyricist Dean had originally written What Becomes of the Brokenhearted with the intention of having The Spinners record it. Ruffins lead vocal on the recording is augmented by the instrumentation of Motowns in-house studio band, The Funk Brothers, and the joint backing vocals of Motown session singers The Originals and The Andantes. it reached No6 on the NME charts december 1966.https://youtube/watch?v=JPrZRmZSzB0
