O'Keefe was a great fan of Jackie Wilson and also recorded his Right Now, My Heart Belongs To Only You and The Way I Am - all very creditable covers. Jackie Wilson had a freakishly good voice and would be hard to match by any performer, but O'Keefe makes a very good run at it.
I bought this song sung by Jackie Wilson in 1962 on a 45 and haven't been able to find it anywhere since. It was on then other side of "I Found Love" which he sang with Linda Hopkins as 'Jack Wilson' on Coral 72453.
I prefer it to this version, as Jackie's falsetto voice came into its own, and is a more upbeat version.
I would love to find it posted on YouTube one of these days.
@flatop47 Thank you. It was featured as a "Playing (Extra) Hard To Get" request on "Sounds Of The Sixties" last Saturday.....
