Previous week position in parenthesis.
Working their way up the chart,
#20, with their first big hit, Gladys Knight and the Pips. Only
the group given credit on
the label. A different take of this tune by them was released on
another label, Fury Records, and climbed the chart
seperately. The original was done in the early fifties by the
Royals, who would change their name to the Midnighters right
after their big 1954 hit, "Work With Me Annie" was
released. Hank Ballard's name would be added to label credits
later.
