Evie Sands originally recorded this song for her debut single, which was produced by Chip Taylor and Al Gorgoni. A pre-release copy of her version fell into the hands of an A&R man from Chess records. They were looking a new hit for Chess artist Jackie Ross and quickly recorded and released her version, which came out before Evie Sands's version on Blue Cat. A legal dispute between Blue Cat and Chess resulted in the Jackie Ross version being withdrawn.
