@tinman3012 Bacharach couldn't quite believe it either, from what I've read. He didn't like that LOVE changed the chords to the song. But personally, I think this was THE definitive version of the song.
Fantastic for on the fly ~ fun & I agree with your assessment I love Manfred Mann but never got that version. Funny when the covers become the hits we all know & love. & this song only charted at #52?! But it was on like all the time everywhere & everyone was doing it in their garages/basements. Well anyway your impression is great as always, I think Arthur Lee would agree. Forever ~ LOVE! Forever Changes.
@mythtree Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I checked Joel Whitburn and the song peaked at #52 on April 30, 1966. Like so many other songs and movies, I think it was under appreciated at the time, but gained a certain cult status over the years. I'm glad it did. I still love this song. Hard to believe I was six-years-old when I first heard it, though. Ha ha ha.
Great ! as always

Hard to believe this song was written by Burt Bacharach. Great song and really like Love's version.
