Thanks sooooo much for posting this! I grew up during this era...I remember the song well, but I had no idea it was the Manhattans! GOD, I miss those days; when music was music and the artists had to have REAL talent!

of all their jams this is my favorite. Saw them sing this song at the Howard Theater in DC in 1965 I was 7 years old, also on that bill the Headliner was Otis Rock house Redding, Erma Franklin,I forgot who else but what a show. Gerald is a badd man but Smitty was no slouch.About fifteen years ago Sonny Bivens had his own group of Manhattans and they would sing pre Gerald Alston songs.

@scottybroker saw them and a lot of other groups at the Cheetah.I still tell people the Cheetah was one of the most ultimate clubs ever.Upstairs,downstairs...the party was all over the place.

saw them at the Cheetah in NYC in mid 60s. They were smooth straight up show stoppers. Performers Deluxe :D
