    Shoot, Dot records, Pat Boone, the Fontaines, etc all became fat cats from stealing songs from black artists. It certainly was not a muscial era Americans can ociate with any pride.

    It was, but by the time they did the song, it was so completely unrecognizable from the Jewels original it was ridiculous. Incidentally, the Charms’ version did hit #1 on Billboard’s R&B charts.

    Otis had a voice that could appeal to both white and African-American audiences. That’s why this song went to number 15 on the pop charts at a time when most r and b groups weren’t making it there.

  15. To me, the real …
    To me, the real charm of the Jewels original was in the vocal group backing, the “doo doo wah da doo doo wah da doo”, which sounded tougher and more insistent. At least to me it did.
