The song was actually written for her by her husband, Sonny, and she released it first, just as an album track. Nancy released it not long after as a single and had a hit with it. 2 hours ago, FentyGa said: im pretty sure cher’s version was a single though, didnt it go to #2 on the hot 100? 35 minutes ago, HuffsAhoy said: Yes, the '66 version reached #2 in US and #3 in UK I looked all this up not so long ago, and I was sure that I saw it was only an album track for Cher. Memory playing tricks or something, I don't know. Anyway, I look it up again now and, yes, a hit single for Cher. Not only that, but a whole slew of people released this song in 1966. Apart from Cher and Nancy, there was also Sandy, Sam Chalpin, Stevie Wonder, Judy Page, Gabor Szabo, Petula Clark and The Beau Brummels ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
