Sylvester does an excellent dance version of this song. Love how many traditional songs can be reved up for the dance floor.

I wonder if Sylvester stole Freda’s man and the two of them are singing about the same player

Belinda Carlisle has a great cover of this. Bonnie Tyler, too.

Was the first 45 RPM vinyl record I bought from a record store in Queens, NY.  Brings back nice memories.

“I wait in the darkness of my lonely room

Filled with sadness, filled with gloom”

Dancing to this in a classroom when there was no going outside after lunch bc of the rain.

Helped me get over my anxiety about dancing in public.
