"Love, Love, Love" by Bobby Hebb

Nashville native Bobby Hebb got his first taste of fame in the Grand Ole Opry at the of 12. He shifted from country to pop with a hint of R&B and landed a huge hit in 1966 with "Sunny," which stayed at #2 for 2 weeks. He scored another minor hit with the follow-up single, "A Satisfied Mind," which peaked at #39. At the end of 1966, "Love Me" became his last charting hit, stalling at #84.

The wonderfully peppy tune, "Love, Love, Love," never charted, which seems surreal to me. Why wasn't this terrific song from the "Sunny" album released?
