This record was originally released in 1977 without the spoken part, and it only reached #97 on the Billboard charts. The artist was listed as 'Charlene Duncan'. 5 years later, a Florida dj started playing the original version and it got a lot of interest, so Motown re-released the record with the spoken part added and the artist name shortened to 'Charlene'. This time it became a big hit (#3 on Billboard).
