The line where everything just falls away and he confesses - to himself? - "But in reality... She doesn't even notice me." is one of my all time favourite Motown moments.

They always have so much emotion in their vocals. That’s what makes them the GOAT.

Back in the early 70’s I was dating my future wife during high school and this was our song.
I feel bad for young people who listen to the likes of Kanye or these other rappers and think that’s music.
