Annotationen
Dieser Brill Building Song haben das Star-Songwriter-Ehepaar für die Girlgroup Exciters geschrieben (ein afroamerikanisches Quartett aus drei Frauen und einem Mann). Die Single wurde kein Erfolg. Erst als Manfred Mann, die eigentlich auf R&B spezialisiert waren, sich dem Stück annahmen, wurde das Stück ein Top Hit auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks. Herausragend ist die Gesangsleistung von Paul Jones.
