                        (Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi)

  

  Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master

  Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

  

    From the composers of "Never My Love", this is the Addrisi Brothers at

    their fun lovin' best.  This song debuted on "Top Of The Pops" when the

    group was in London.  Unique vocal arrangement drops one half-tone on

    each repeat of the fade.
