Day 112 – Amy Winehouse – To Know Him Is To Love Him (The Teddy Bears)

July 25, 2011 by Farhang

In memory of a great musical talent, Amy Winehouse.

“To Know Him Is to Love Him” was written by Phil Spector, inspired by words on his father’s tombstone. It was first recorded by his first vocal group, the only one of which he was a member, the Teddy Bears. Their recording went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1958. The Beatles recorded it as “To Know Her Is to Love Her”, although their version wasn’t officially released until their 1994 Live at the BBC compilation album.

In 2007, Amy Winehouse recorded the song acoustically for a B-side of “You Know I’m No Good”. A version by Winehouse also appeared on the 2007 compilation album, The Saturday Sessions: The Dermot O’Leary Show.

and here is the original:
