Comments
Although the song was written by Jimmy Jones, it was perhaps recorded after his departure from the group and released even later to compete with the Jimmy Jones solo version. The song is credited on the recording to member David Barksdale and Apollo's Charles Merenstein. While Merenstein still technically remains credited, Jones has refuted any writing contribution by Merenstein. Therefore Merenstein is not credited here.
