This has got to be one of the greatest soul songs ever recorded. I read that Linda Jones created the song styling melisma, or spreading syllables over several notes. Sadly, this great singer collapsed and died while performing at the Apollo in her 20s, leading audience members to dismiss her as another junkie. Coincedentally, Patti Labelle and Gladys Knight listed Jones as their favorite singer. Check out her voice.

Here's Hypnotize:

Love it. Classic. Peaked at #4 on Billboard's Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles in 1967.

Teena Marie did a nice cover of this on her Passion Play album.
