(Burt Keyes/Sylvia
Robinson) (Lezli Valentine: Uncredited
Lyrics)
Although it is
credited to Burt Keyes and Sylvia Robinson, it has come out that Lezli Valentine, who recorded the original version, may
have co-written some of the lyrics and been dropped from the credits. Whatever the case, it became a huge
hit for The Moments in 1970, topping the soul chart and crossing over to
the pop chart, where it peaked at #3.
It has since been
covered by Barry Biggs, Gloria Estefan on the 1994 CD, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Dean Fraser who did a
“version”, Kyla, Stacy Lattisaw who
took it to #2 on the R&B chart and #26 on the pop chart, the Lewis
Sisters, The Lost Generation on The
Sly, Slick and the Wicked, Laura Nyro, Lovi Poe, Ray, Goodman & Brown, Vonda Shepherd on
the TV show Ally McBeal,
and Brenda K. Starr on her 2002 album, Temptation.
