Written by Bobby Weinstein (Wilding), Bobby Hart (Harshman) and Teddy
Randazzo, and originally recorded by
Litte Anthony & The Imperials
in 1965 and was a top 10 Hot 100 hit.
The Delfonics version was an album only track from their debut album 'La La Means I Love You' in 1968,
but did 'escape' on a Stateside 45 in Jamaica only.
It was later covered by The Philly Devotions
in 1976 and given the Philly disco treatment. Many others have covered it
before:
Susan Rafey, Byrdie Green, The Embers,
The Soul Bros.. Willie Hutch and after: including
Bobby And I, Cathy Carlson,
Baby Washington,
Sandra Alexandra, Nancy Wilson, Nancy Holloway, Willie Hutch,
El Chicano, Dionne Warwick,
Arther Prysock,
Carl Carlton,
Peggy March
(a disco version),
Irene Barr, Alicia Keys,
Signs Of The Time,
Bobby Hart
(one of the writers of the song which is a pretty good blue-eyed deep
version) and i also found a previously unreleased version by one of the other writers
Teddy Randazzo.
There are loads of other versions, reggae, jazz, instrumental and pop/MOR
which aren't worth linking to.
