Background [edit]

Sheila Ferguson recalled that "the vocal was played to me past Kenny Gamble at the pianoforte in 1973 and I threw a tantrum. I screamed and yelled and said I would never sing it. I idea information technology was ridiculously insulting to be given such a simple song and that information technology took no talent to sing information technology. We did practice it and several million copies later, I realized that he knew more than me."[ii] She would later have a #threescore hit with a solo remake of the track in 1994.[3] The song is unique in that every sentence is a question, heightening the overall effect and emotion. The Iii Degrees performed the vocal at Prince Charles' 30th birthday party at Buckingham Palace in 1978.
