"La-La Means I Love You" was released at the end of January 1968. Written by Thom Bell and William Hart, it was produced by Bell and Stan Watson. It reached #3 on the Hot 100, #2 on the R&B chart, and #19 in the UK. It’s probably their best-known (and loved) songs, and has been covered by a few acts, including Todd Rundgren, The Jackson 5, Booker T. & The MG’s, and Swing Out Sister. It finished 1968 at #23 on the year-end Hot 100.

It is! They almost sound like Little Anthony & The Imperials on this.

I was getting ready for Song Lyric Sunday, and thought of this because the prompt is “la,” but I heard it and said, “no, this one’s a song of the day.” It’s a beauty, isn’t it?

I had a better idea (i.e. one that’s a little less on the nose) for Sunday. Wait and see…
