Composed by the songwriting duo Lou Adler and Herb Alpert (who knew?) this was released April 1960 by Keen Records. It had been recorded during an impromptu session a year earlier during Sam Cooke's final recording session at Keen. By the time 1960 rolled-around Cooke had signed with RCA Victor and the previously unreleased cut was released as a competitive single. Cooke subsequently revised the lyrics to make it his own.
The song ended-up performing substantially better on the charts that several of his early RCA singles becoming Cooke's biggest single since You Send Me (1957). The single peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit number two on Billboard's Hot R&B chart.
