CRAP !!
Not only did she not write the song, she wasn’t the first to record it !
This tale of passionate love was originally recorded by a singer named
Little Willie John. In 1937, he was born William Edgar John in Arkansas. He
was one of the first R&B singers, fairly popular in the late '50's and early
'60s. Although he was a major influence on soul singers of the '60s, he
remains relatively unknown today. His nickname came from his slight height -
he was only 5'4".

After stabbing a man to death, he was jailed for manslaughter and died in
prison when he was only 30 years old. The cause of his death is disputed -
with reasons given ranging from a heart attack, pneumonia, asphyxiation, or
as the result of beatings received in prison. His songs have been covered by
many artists - The Beatles recorded "Leave My Kitten Alone" for the Beatles
for Sale sessions, but never released it (It did appear on their Anthology 1
set). Little Willie John was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1996.
