Take Me In Your Arms - Eddie Holland 1964 (Rare Original) video free download
Eddie Holland wasn't just a songwriter with Holland-Dozier-Holland, the famous songwriting team for the Motown Label but was also for a short time a recording artist. It is Holland (and not Kim Weston in 1965) who did the first recording of "Take me in Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While)" in 1964 but it was not released commercially until 2005, even though Weston's cover was the first commercial release. Listen and compare how Weston's cover is almost similar to Holland's original version here.

The better known version that people most remember is the Doobie Brothers' cover in 1975 which went up to number 11 on the Billboard Charts that year. Enjoy this rare original recording. It just grooves dudes!!:))

Eddie Holland recorded his first song for Berry Gordy in 1958, and his last one in 1965. His singing career lasted roughly 8 years.12 years ago

Probably because it's a demo for Weston or some other female singer. Ronnie's voice is pretty high, too12 years ago

Two years after hearing this, I still think this is the best version of this song, although the Kim Weston is close. I'm glad to see that a compilation of his work as a singer is being released. :)13 years ago
