Bert Berns wasn’t the easiest person to get along with in the record industry. By almost all accounts he was a jerk. Ask Van Morrison. When Neil Diamond left Berns’ label (BANG Records) very acrimoniously, Bert tinkered with his previous material and kept on legally releasing singles without Diamond’s knowledge or consent. I think strings were added here, but this record stiffed. UB40 did a reggae-flavored cover version in 1983.
