While it was a hit in Britain, it did not gain significant traction in the United States and is often cited as marking the end of Spector's early career. The song was released during the period when Tina Turner was performing as part of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, though Ike Turner was paid to stay out of the studio during its recording.1
