This release shows the artist on 1.08 Ask The Lonely as Tommy Good. However, this fact has been disputed by the artist, Motown fans, as well as several of the compilers themselves since. Several other Motown singers have been suggested, and in April 2008, Ivy Jo Hunter confirmed that it is him singing on the track.
