From a 1971 b-side on Motown's subsidiary label Rare Earth, this is Stoney & Meatloaf and their version of The Temptations hit "The Way You Do The Things You Do."
This record surprised me. I'm not a fan of Meat Loaf's voice. He certainly has the pipes, but I do think he overdoes it most of the time. He was the weak link, for my ears, of the "Bat Out Of Hell" album. But I really like this arrangement, which is something of a mash-up. I think you'll recognize the chords of the "other" song.

I’m with you on Meatloaf but I love this arrangement. Given the classic status of the original it would be a mean feat to cover it but this really works for me.
Fun!
Thanks sal
Pretty smokin’ version, this! Thanks for finding it, Sal…
Shaun Murphy's pipes are pretty respectable as well.
