Back when this was huge, there a clip of it being sung by Jackie DeShannon, who wrote the song.
It was shocking how similar her & Kim's voice were.
But, I've searched & searched and I can only find the actual record version Jackie had done years earlier. That version is nothing like the one that became a superhit.
Really wish I could find it.
