The first single released under Darlene Love's name on the Philles label.
This came out in March 1963 as the b-side of the classic "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry", a replacement for the single's original flip, "Playing For Keeps" (not the Stan Kesler song).
Phil Spector's gorgeous production really showcases (no, embraces) Darlene's soulful voice.
An absolute masterpiece !
