Never knew about this version before now. Only knew about The Olympics & The Rascals.

Wow, this is news to me. I always thought the first version was The Olympics version. Thanks for the schooling!

[@elliotness7319]

Good song, more rithm, more original than the other covers

[@laurah6845]

I thought the Olympics did it first...wow!!

The original. But notice the lyrics: here the singer describes his girlfriend as having good loving, then for Olympics-> The Who (not
recorded) -> Rascals -> ever body: the singer is sick 🤒 and doctor, Mr. MD, prescribes good loving
