Today's "Great Song of the '70s" was a worldwide hit in 1976. In fact, it was a Top 10 smash in 11 countries, and went to #1 in The Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand and the U.S.!
Winifred Lovett, the bass singer of The Manhattans not only wrote the song, he recited the spoken word intro. As a club DJ at the time, I can tell you this was a sure-fire floor filler at the end of the night. Even though it's a serious breakup song, people really got into slow dancing to its "smooooth groove.
