I remember hearing this in 1977. All I can picture is those big, chunky Cadillacs in the 1970s when I hear this song - Ah, sweet, sweet memories of a much better time.

this song came out in Australia in about 1977, I was 15 years old. I loved it, I can't explain why it was just a catchy song. It was embedded in my brain for decades after - It wasn't until KZitem came along that I could find it again - it could still be a hit today I reckon.

I was 19 years old the first time I heard this song on a car radio. I immediately recognized the opening as the 1920's song "Whispering" and after that was all ears. When I got home I searched up and down the radio dial to hear this song again and to find out who the band was. Anyone who can construct a classic like this is a genius.

Don't think the music was live, probably a lip synch of the 1976 hit song. Thanks for the upload with crystal clear audio. Love ya Cory!

Hmmm....I'm not sure what you're getting mixed up with, but "Cherchez La Femme" wasn't even recorded by The Stylistics, let alone a hit for them to the best of my knowledge. In 1977 this would have been the only version available. In 1995 Gloria Estefan, who couldn't even lace Cory Daye's boots, did a direct but poor copy of Dr. Buzzards original version.

They're still my favorite and play tYT videos of them daily.. Am sure there's a copy of an LP with my insignia on it that's still out there somewhere in North America. I'd signed all my possessions with an NA as neilalien, my 'stage name' in those 'daze.' It's a palindrome, dontcha see.. "I'll play the fool for you.' ;-)
