My dad is the lead singer on this track, but this is the first time I have ever heard it. I knew it existed. I saw it on Ebay, just didn't have anything to play it on any more.

This song wasn't on the Girl Watcher Albulm.

I see that I commented on this one a year ago. I was just now searching for their 2nd single, "Love Machine" (but didn't find it). I always wondered if it was the same "Love Machine" that was also done by a group called the Roosters that same year. Now that the Roosters' record has been posted here, I wanted to play both of them to see if they were the same song. I had heard OF but never heard the Roosters' song before this past week. I'm not sure if I ever heard the O'Kaysions' "Love Machine".

Let me know if you find "Love Machine." My dad ( Donnie Weaver) is the lead singer. It was always one of my favorites. I don't have a copy of it any more. I don't remeber the on by the Roosters, but of coarse I was only a year old when these songs came out.

O'Kaysions producer Bill Szymczyk would go on to produce the Eagles.

check out girl watcher, their biggest hit, good video on u tube. Weaver is still performing and writing new stuff, though with a different style

I do recall hearing this song by what I thought at the time was a black r&b group on the radio in the late 1960s. I didn't learn that this group was white until the 1990s, so it may have been this group. The song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

I never liked this song until I heard this version. Weaver was (and still is) one heck of a vocalist.
