I miss you so much since you’ve been gone it’s almost as though you were still here.

The brass section helps to give this song power and resonance. Even though Diana’s singing voice is nasal and rather shrill, as was her style, the performance works well.
What she lacked in lung power, she made up with her clear pronunciation and realistic intonation while describing her predicament. The trombones during the verses help deliver an ominous tone. fitting well with Diana’s lament.
Lee Fields does a solid version. Released in 2009 but sounds straight out of the sixties:

The Rolling Stones borrowed from this for Paint it Black/I>.
Thanks for the flashback. Love Diana Ross and the Supremes. She is the only one left but continues to perform at the age of 80 she is still sensational!!!
MoTown did Rock.
Look at how nicely dressed the girls are, as they sing live in a studio, surrounded by an orchestra. Motown often helped their singers find high class, scene appropriate clothing to fit the moment. No Nikki Minaj or Megan Thee Stallion strip joint outfits here!
