although not in the db because of it's low billboard peak
chart position of number 39 in late 1967, my commercial 45
for the brenda holloway song 'you've made me so very happy'
issued as tamla 54155 lists the run time on the label as
2:52 but actually only runs 2:50.....i never knew someone
did this song BEFORE blood, sweat & tears....very cool
sounding version!!

Ed, I definitely agree. Brenda's version is superior to the BS&T remake. Her vocals are so much more nuanced than David Clayton-Thomas's. It should have been a bigger hit.

Brenda Holloway also wrote the song to begin with.
