==Overview== "I Can't Get Next to You" was the second single from the 1969 Temptations LP ''[[Puzzle People]]'', with "Running Away (Ain't Gonna Help You)", a ballad led by Paul Williams, as the [[b-side]]. The single was a No. 1 hit on both the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart and the [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|''Billboard'' Top R&B Singles]] chart. The song has been frequently covered, most notably a 1970 version by [[Al Green]], a slower-paced version without multi-lead vocals. Green's cover, the title track of his 1971 LP ''[[Al Green Gets Next to You]]'', reached No. 60 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and No. 11 on the R&B chart. [[Annie Lennox]] also covered the song on her 1995 album ''[[Medusa (Annie Lennox album)|Medusa]]''.
