The Hesitations were a soul and R&B group that emerged from Cleveland, Ohio, in the 1960s, becoming an exemplar of the classic Northern Soul sound. The group's lineup often fluctuated, but at its core, The Hesitations carved out a distinctive place in the soul music genre with their melodious harmonies and fervent vocal performances. Despite not reaching the zenith of commercial success experienced by some of their contemporaries, they garnered a devoted following through their emotionally-charged live shows and a number of well-received singles.

Among their most notable releases were tracks like "Soul Superman," an uptempo anthem that distilled the energy of the era, and "I'm Not Built That Way," a song that showcased the group's more introspective lyrical side. While "Crazy Things" and "But If You Must Go" highlighted their versatility. "You Got Me" and "Gotta Find a Way" further underpinned their ability to combine catchy tunes with soulful depth. The Hesitations' music has endured, maintaining a presence on the Northern Soul scene and being cherished by aficionados of the genre for the vivid storytelling and authentic emotion their songs conveyed.
