A quintessential Phil Spector back-to-mono Wall Of Sound production, done by Sonny Charles and Checkmates, Ltd. Phil co-wrote the song with Irwin Levine and Toni Wine. Toni co-wrote “A Groovy Kind Of Love” and “Candida” and sang with Tony Orlando on the first Dawn album before the act was even assembled. That’s Ms. Wine on “Candida” and “Knock Three Times,” plus the female voice on Gene Pitney’s “It Hurts To Be In Love,” the Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar” and Willie Nelson’s “Always On My Mind.” She was married to Memphis record producer Chips Moman. Toni was the cat voice in the Meow Mix ads, too (“meow, meow, meow, meow...”).
