The Beatles say “love” 97 times in this track. This staggering amount of repetition accounts for nearly one-sixth of the total uses of the word across their entire discography …

Okay, this song has a convoluted history. It was originally composed by Bob King to be just an instrumental. Ray Charles heard it and along with Renald Richard put lyrics to it. Of course, Ray and His Band had a massive hit with their new creation, which was released in December 1954. Meanwhile, the instrumental version that Bob King composed did not hit the airwaves until 1960 when Jimmy Smith released his version.

Mega-Hit: December 1954

Original Instrumental Version: 1960
