Thanks to Lettermen1 for this song!

===from Wikipedia:

"Dedicated to the One I Love" is the name of a song written by Ralph Bass and Lowman Pauling. Bass and Pauling were members of The "5" Royales, the group that recorded the original version of this song. A version by The Shirelles was a minor hit for them in 1959. The "5" Royales saw a re-release of their own version chart at #81 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961. Later that year, The Shirelles re-released their version and watched it rocket up the chart to #3. A subsequent remake by The Mamas and The Papas released on the Dunhill label went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967. Lead singer on the Mamas and Papas version was Mama Michelle Phillips. It was the first time Michelle was given the lead over Mama Cass Elliott in any of their songs. In 1972, The Temprees placed their version on the Hot 100 at #93. Bernadette Peters recorded a Hot 100 hit version in 1981 (#65). One other notable version was Bitty McLean's reggae remake from 1994, which reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart. Also, in 1996, Linda Ronstadt recorded "Dedicated to the One I Love" and made it the title song of her album released that year which featured oldies redone as lullabies.
