Haha, these guys got it right and streamlined the song to just the bass
guitar line going through the verse with congas, with guitar stabs from
a safe distance away from Eddie's vox. Guess they didn't want to bother
with which camp the song was in, minor or major. The ears have it.

Good version for this song debate.

For another good version of the song look up the Temps Medley by Hall &
Oates. It was recorded at the Apollo IIRC & had Eddie Kendricks & David
Ruffin doing the vocals. As per the original discussion, the guitar
player is playing a D9 - not in the original version, but fits very
well nonetheless - which puts at least this version squarely in the
D-major camp.
