Barbara Mason is an American soul singer and songwriter, best known for her 1965 hit “Yes, I’m Ready.” She landed fourteen singles on the Billboard R&B Top 40, including the crossover hits “Sad, Sad Girl,” “Oh, How It Hurts,” “Give Me Your Love,” “From His Woman to You,” and “Shackin’ Up.”
Mason released fourteen singles between 1964 and 1969 for Arctic Records, mostly compiled on her two Sixties-era albums, Yes, I’m Ready and Oh, How It Hurts. Her third album, If You Knew Him Like I Do, appeared in 1970 on National General. She modernized her sound on Buddah Records with the 1972–75 albums Give Me Your Love, Lady Love, Transition, and Love’s the Thing.
In 1981, she cut the two-part single “She’s Got the Papers (But I Got the Man),” a response to the epic “She’s Got Papers on Me” by Richard “Dimples” Fields and Betty Wright.
Background
Barbara Mason was born on August 9, 1947, in Philadelphia. From age twelve, she played her grandmother’s piano. She formed several groups with her classmates and won numerous summer talent contests at her neighborhood playground.
Her neighbor, Earl Oxidine, sang with The Larks, a Philly doo-wop group that also featured Weldon Arthur McDougal III, who introduced her to Jimmy Bishop, a popular local DJ.
First Two Singles
Bishop financed Barbara’s first single: “Trouble Child” a Mason original backed with “Dedicated to You,” co-written with ex-Medallions singer Johnny Stiles.
A. “Trouble Child” (2:44) features backing vocals by The Tiffanys, a Philly female trio that cut the 1964 Atlantic single “Gossip.”
B. “Dedicated to You” (2:45) features backing vocals by The Larks.
“Trouble Child” appeared on Crusader Records, a small LA-based label that scored its biggest hit with “The “In” Crowd,” a 1965 single by Dobie Gray.
For Barbara’s subsequent output, Bishop established Arctic Records, which launched with the second Tiffanys single (“Happiest Girl In the World”) followed by Mason’s November 1964 second single, comprised of two originals:
A. “Come to Me” (2:22)
B. “Girls Have Feelings Too” (2:35)
Radio stations favored the b-side. “Girls Have Feelings Too” reached No. 31 on the Billboard R&B chart.
“Yes, I’m Ready”
On March 19, 1965, Barbara Mason released her third single: “Yes, I’m Ready,” a tender ballad backed with the Motown-inspired “Keep Him,” both originals.
A. “Yes, I’m Ready” (3:06)
B. “Keep Him” (1:59)
“Yes, I’m Ready” reached No. 2 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 5 on the Hot 100. Barbara’s hit inspired 1965–67 covers by The Royalettes, Shirley Ellis, Carla Thomas, and Gladys Knight & The Pips. In 1969, Arctic labelmates The Ambassadors covered “Yes, I’m Ready” in a medley with “I’ll Try Something New,” an early Miracles hit.
In January 1980, “Yes, I’m Ready” became the decade’s inaugural Billboard No. 1 through a duet cover by Teri DeSario and KC (aka Harry Wayne Casey, frontman of KC & The Sunshine Band).
“Yes, I’m Ready” became the title-track of Barbara Mason’s August 1965 debut album, which contains all aforementioned singles sides (barring “Dedicated to You”) and both side of her July ’65 fourth single: “Sad, Sad Girl,” an original backed with the pre-released “Come to Me.”
Yes, I’m Ready contains six album-only cuts, including covers of The Supremes (“Come See About Me”), Solomon Burke (“Got to Get You Off My Mind”), Joe Tex (“You Got What It Takes”), Jerry Butler (“Moon River,” sung by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s), and the Erroll Garner jazz standard “Misty.”
Oh, How It Hurts
Between September 1965 and April 1968, Barbara Mason released seven Arctic singles, including the R&B hits “I Need Love” (No. 25) and “Oh, How It Hurts” (No. 11). All seven a-sides (and one b-side, “Game of Love”) appear on her April 1968 second album Oh, How It Hurts.
A1. “Oh, How It Hurts” (2:49) Oct 1967
A2. “Poor Girl In Trouble” (3:14) Sep 1966
A3. “I Need Love” (3:08) Apr 1966
A4. “You Can Depend On Me” (2:44) Apr 1967
A5. “I Do Love You” (3:00)
A6. “Game of Love” (2:29) Apr 1967

B2. “If You Don’t (Love Me, Tell Me So)” (3:08) Sep 1965
B3. “Is It Me” (2:54) Dec 1965
B4. “Forever” (2:35)
B5. “I Don’t Want to Lose You” (2:40) Apr 1968
B6. “For Your Love” (2:18)
1968–69 Non-album Singles
Between July 1968 and June 1969, Barbara Mason released four non-album Arctic singles.
A. “(I Can Feel Your Love) Slipping Away”
B. “Half a Love”
A. “I’m No Good for You”
B. “Don’t Ever Go Away”
A. “Take It Easy (With My Heart)”
B. “You Never Loved Me (At All)”
A. “Happy Girl”
B. “You Better Stop It”
If You Knew Him Like I Do
Barbara Mason released her third album, If You Knew Him Like I Do, in September 1970 on National General.
If You Knew Him draws almost entirely from recent and contemporary pop hits, with Mason’s voice set against polished Philadelphia arrangements from a rotating team of arrangers. Thom Bell handles two tracks, Bobby Martin four, Richie Rome two, and J. Bishop one. The instrumental core keeps to piano and organ, sparse guitar, vibes and percussion, and a string section.
The record covers Simon & Garfunkel (“Bridge Over Troubled Water”), BJ Thomas (“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head”), Dionne Warwick (“(There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me”), plus Neil Sedaka (“Breaking Up Is Hard to Do”), Dusty Springfield (“Just a Little Lovin'”), Rod McKuen (“Jean”), and The Beatles (“Let It Be”). “Yes, It’s You,” co-written by Mason and J. Bishop, is the sole original from the pair.
A1. “If You Knew Him Like I Do” (2:37) — J. Bishop
A2. “Jean (Gene)” (3:30) — Rod McKuen
A3. “Oh Me Oh My (I’m a Fool for You Baby)” (2:47) — Jim Doris
A4. “Your Old Flame” (3:20) — J. Bishop
A5. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (4:28) — Paul Simon
A6. “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” (3:35) — Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield
B1. “Just a Little Lovin'” (3:12) — Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil
B2. “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” (2:47) — Burt Bacharach/Hal David
B3. “(There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me” (3:30) — Bacharach/David
B4. “Let It Be” (3:29) — Lennon/McCartney
B5. “Yes, It’s You” (3:05) — B. Mason/J. Bishop
Barbara Mason recorded If You Knew Him Like I Do at Sigma Sound Studios with engineers Carl Paruolo, D. Moyasis, and Joe Tarsia. J. Bishop produced the album.
National General issued “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” backed with “If You Knew Him Like I Do” as a single in 1970; it reached number 112 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 38 on the R&B chart. “Just a Little Lovin'” backed with “Yes, It’s You” followed.
In 1971, National General issued “Pow Pow Song (Sorry Sorry Baby)” backed with “Your Old Flame” and “Hooked on a Feeling” backed with “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.” None of the 1971 singles charted. Non-album singles from this period include “When You Look at Me” backed with “I Should Be Leaving You” and “I Can’t Help It” backed with “Jean (Gene).”
1970–71 Non-album Singles
In February 1971, Barbara Mason released a non-album single: “When You Look at Me,” a Bishop composition backed with “I Should Be Leaving You,” a Mason original.
Months later, she made “I Can’t Help It,” an exclusive original backed with the album track “Jean (Gene).” This was her final release on National General.
Barbara signed with Buddah, a post-psychedelic New York label with an array of pop, rock, and avant-garde acts. Between August 1971 and September 1972, she released three non-album Buddah a-sides: “Pow Pow Song (Sorry Sorry Baby),” “Hooked on a Feeling,” and “Woman and Man.”
Give Me Your Love
Barbara Mason released her fourth album, Give Me Your Love, in December 1972 on Buddah.
Give spans two recording locations and two distinct production approaches. Vince Montana Jr. arranges five tracks — the nine-minute reworked “Yes, I’m Ready,” “When I Fall in Love,” “Everything I Own,” “Let Me in Your Life,” and “Bed and Board” — and the Sigma Sound core of bassist Ronnie Baker, drummer Earl Young, guitarists Bobby Eli and Norman Harris, and percussionist Vince Montana Jr. carries most of the record.
The Bread standard “Everything I Own” and the Bill Withers song “Let Me in Your Life” sit alongside the Doris Fisher/Allan Roberts ballad “When I Fall in Love.” “Yes, I’m Ready” — Mason’s 1965 debut hit — opens the album at nine minutes, reshaped through spoken passages and extended vocal improvisation. “Bed and Board” gets an extended arrangement from Norman Harris. “Who Will You Hurt Next” and “You Can Be with the One You Don’t Love,” both Mason originals, appear on side two alongside “Out of This World.” The album closes with the Curtis Mayfield title track, produced by Mayfield in Chicago and arranged by Rich Tufo, which places Mason in a tighter, more stripped-down setting than the Sigma productions.
A1. “Yes, I’m Ready” (8:56) — B. Mason
A2. “When I Fall in Love” (4:03) — E. Heyman/V. Young
A3. “Everything I Own” (3:54) — D. Gates
A4. “Let Me in Your Life” (3:52) — Bill Withers
B1. “Bed and Board” (3:29) — Flax/Lambert
B2. “Who Will You Hurt Next” (3:20) — B. Mason
B3. “You Can Be with the One You Don’t Love” (4:21) — B. Mason
B4. “Out of This World” (3:30) — J. Bishop
B5. “Give Me Your Love” (2:58) — C. Mayfield
Barbara Mason recorded the majority of Give Me Your Love at Sigma Sound Studios; “Give Me Your Love” and “You Can Be with the One You Don’t Love” were recorded at Curtom Studios, Chicago. Engineers were Carl Paruolo, Joe Tarsia, and Roger Anfinsen. Curtis Mayfield produced tracks B3 and B5; the remaining tracks carry no individual production credit in the source.
Buddah issued “Bed and Board” backed with “Yes, It’s You” as a single in 1972; it reached number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 24 on the R&B chart. “Give Me Your Love” backed with “You Can Be with the One You Don’t Love” followed and reached number 31 on the Hot 100 and number 9 on the R&B chart.
A non-album single, “Woman and Man” backed with “Who Will Hurt You Next,” also appeared in 1972. In 1973, Buddah issued a re-recorded version of “Yes, I’m Ready” backed with “Who Will Hurt You Next,” which reached number 125 on the Hot 100; and the non-album “Children of Tomorrow” backed with “Out of This World,” which reached number 79 on the R&B chart.
Give Me Your Love peaked at number 95 on the Billboard 200 and number 17 on the R&B album chart.
Lady Love
Barbara Mason released her fifth album, Lady Love, in December 1973 on Buddah. It features the singles “Caught in the Middle (of a One Sided Love Affair)” and “World War Three.”
The album runs at a spacious pace throughout — five of its seven tracks exceed four minutes, and two of those cross eight — built around long, unhurried arrangements where Mason’s vocal has room to extend and revisit phrases.
Ronnie Baker arranged five tracks, Vince Montana one. The band stays consistent with the Sigma Sound configuration: Baker on bass, Earl Young on drums, Bobby Eli and Norman Harris on guitar, Leon Huff and Ron Kersey on keyboards, Don Renaldo on strings and horns, and Larry Washington on bongos and congas. Mason plays Fender Rhodes on several tracks. “Me and Mr. Jones” — a cover of the Billy Paul hit — opens the album at nearly nine minutes. “Bed and Board” returns in an eight-minute extended version. “World War Three” occupies nearly all of side two’s opening, running close to ten minutes through a slow, sustained build. “All in Love Is Fair” covers the Stevie Wonder ballad. “I Miss You Gordon” stands apart with a Vince Montana arrangement, leaning on vibraphone and a quieter orchestral frame.
A1. “Me and Mr. Jones” (8:54)
A2. “Bed and Board” (Extended Version) (8:13)
A3. “Who’d Ever Think” (5:02)
B1. “World War Three” (9:53)
B2. “Caught in the Middle” (4:32)
B3. “I Miss You Gordon” (3:55)
B4. “All in Love Is Fair” (3:54) — Stevie Wonder
Barbara Mason recorded Lady Love at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia. The album was mastered at Frankford-Wayne, Philadelphia. No individual production credit appears in the source.
Buddah issued “World War Three” backed with “I Miss You Gordon” as a single in 1974. “Caught in the Middle (of a One Sided Love Affair)” backed with “Give Him Up” followed; neither charted. Lady Love peaked at number 29 on the R&B album chart.
Transition
Barbara Mason released her sixth album, Transition, in September 1974 on Buddah. It features the singles “The Devil Is Busy” and “Half Brother, Half Sister.”
Transition turns away from personal love themes toward social and spiritual subject matter — the whole of side one addresses political and moral crisis, side two moves toward gospel-inflected redemption. All nine tracks are Mason originals, with the exception of the side-two closer “Sunday Saint (Week Day Sinner),” which adds co-writers Akines, Bellmon, Turner, and Drayton. Arrangers Norman Harris, Richard Rome, and Bobby Eli divide the record between them. Harris takes the opening track, Rome four tracks across both sides, and Eli one. The instrumental players go uncredited in the source.
“Half Sister, Half Brother” opens the record in an uptempo, rhythmically direct frame. “World in a Crisis” and “Miracle Man” share a similar laidback Philly soul pace. “The Devil Is Busy,” the album’s longest track at over five minutes, runs at a more deliberate, building tempo. “Trigger Happy People” and “People Don’t Believe” fill out side one’s message-driven sequence. Side two opens with “Time Is Running Out” before arriving at the gospel-leaning closer.
A1. “Half Sister, Half Brother” (3:56)
A2. “World in a Crisis” (3:23)
A3. “The Devil Is Busy” (5:21)
A4. “People Don’t Believe” (4:27)
B1. “Trigger Happy People” (4:17)
B2. “Time Is Running Out” (3:36)
B3. “Miracle Man” (3:27)
B4. “I Believe and Have Not Seen” (4:35)
B5. “Sunday Saint (Week Day Sinner)” (3:42)
Barbara Mason recorded Transition primarily at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, with “Sunday Saint (Week Day Sinner)” recorded at Future Gold Studios, Philadelphia. The album was mastered at Frankford/Wayne Recording Labs. No individual production credit appears in the source.
Buddah issued “The Devil Is Busy” backed with “All in Love Is Fair” from Lady Love as a single in 1974. “Half Brother, Half Sister” backed with the non-album “Our Day Will Come” followed.
Non-album singles from 1974 include “From His Woman to You” backed with “When You Wake Up in Georgia,” which reached number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart.
Love’s the Thing
Barbara Mason released her seventh album, Love’s the Thing, in 1975 on Buddah. It features the R&B hits “From His Woman to You” (No. 3) and “Shackin’ Up” (No. 9). Betty Crutcher and Lester Snell wrote “From His Woman to You” as a response to “Woman to Woman,” a recent deep-soul single by Shirley Brown.
The album was recorded in Detroit at United Sound Systems and produced by Jimmy Bishop and Don Davis, who also served as executive engineer. The house band draws from Motown-adjacent Detroit session players: Earl Van Dyke on keyboards, Eddie Hinton and Robert White on guitar, Roderick “Peanut” Chandler on bass, and Richard “Pistol” Allen and Ural Jones sharing drums. Rudy Robinson contributes keyboards and rhythm charts on two tracks. The Detroit Horns and a string section led by Carl Austin round out the orchestral complement. Johnny Allen arranges nine of the ten tracks; Lester Snell takes the Mason-Crutcher ballad “From His Woman to You,” and Rudy Robinson arranges two tracks alongside Allen.
The album centers on romantic conflict and love-triangle dynamics. “From His Woman to You” — written by Betty Crutcher and Lester Snell as a direct response to Shirley Brown’s “Woman to Woman” — opens as a slow, address-style ballad. “Shackin’ Up,” a Jackie Avery song, takes a more playful, uptempo approach to an illicit relationship. “So He’s Yours Now” runs as a slow, resigned ballad. “Your Sweet Love” and “One-Two-Three (You Her or Me)” both carry a southern soul flavor across fuller arrangements, the latter stretching past six minutes. “(He Wants) The Two of Us,” co-written by Mason and Betty Crutcher, and “(There’s) One Man Between Us” close the album’s triangle-song sequence.
A1. “Shackin’ Up” (4:18) — Jackie Avery
A2. “I Call Out Your Name” (4:08) — Barbara Mason
A3. “Your Sweet Love” (5:00) — Akines/Bellmon/Turner/Drayton
A4. “So He’s Yours Now” (4:08) — Norma Toney
A5. “From His Woman to You” (3:48) — Betty Crutcher/Lester Snell
B1. “One-Two-Three (You Her or Me)” (6:14) — Akines/Bellmon/Turner/Drayton
B2. “What Do You Say” (4:48) — Akines/Bellmon/Turner/Drayton
B3. “(He Wants) The Two of Us” (4:22) — Barbara Mason/Betty Crutcher
B4. “What Am I Gonna Do” (3:03) — Barbara Mason
B5. “(There’s) One Man Between Us” (3:55) — Akines/Bellmon/Turner/Drayton
Barbara Mason recorded Love’s the Thing at United Sound Systems, Detroit. Jimmy Bishop produced the album, with Don Davis as executive producer and executive engineer.
Buddah issued “From His Woman to You” backed with “When You Wake Up in Georgia” as a single in 1974; it reached number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart. “Shackin’ Up” backed with “(There’s) One Man Between Us” followed in 1975 and reached number 91 on the Hot 100 and number 9 on the R&B chart.
Love’s the Thing peaked at number 187 on the Billboard 200 and number 42 on the R&B album chart.
1975 Credits
In March 1975, Buddah issued Sheba, Baby, a soundtrack by Monk Higgins and Alex Brown for director William Girdler’s blaxploitation action film starring Pam Grier and Austin Stoker. Barabara Mason sings on four tracks: “Sheba Baby,” “I’m in Love with You,” “A Good Man Is Gone,” and “She Did It.”
Barbara dueted with Buddah labelmates The Futures on the July 1975 non-album single “We Got Each Other” b/w “Make It Last,” both joint-written by the two parties. It reached No. 35 on the R&B chart.
Locked in This Position (w/ Bunny Sigler)
Barbara Mason and Bunny Sigler released a duets album, Locked in This Position, in 1977 on Curtom.
The album pairs Mason with Philadelphia songwriter and producer Bunny Sigler across seven tracks, with Sigler writing four and J. Freedman and T. Life contributing three. Rich Tufo arranges five tracks; Richard Rome takes the remaining two. Sigler and James Sigler handle most of the keyboard work alongside Rich Tufo, with Raymond Earl on bass, Scottie Miller on drums, and a small guitar section of Kim Miller, Ronnie James, and Theodore Life. Sam Peaks plays tenor sax on select tracks. Locked features multiple backing vocalists (Charles Fowler, Denise Heard, Fred Simon, Gladys Thomas, Larry Brownlee, Loretta Stokes, and Valerie Sams).
They open Side B with the Temptations classic “My Girl.” The remaining material consists of original duets across ballad and midtempo forms, with “Locked in This Position” — the title track — among the longer builds at over five minutes. “Lonely (Lonely for You Baby)” and “I’m with You Now” are Sigler originals. “Leaving,” written by Sigler and S. Marshall, closes side two.
A1. “Love Song” (4:18) — J. Freedman/T. Life
A2. “Lonely (Lonely for You Baby)” (4:28) — B. Sigler
A3. “Locked in This Position” (5:29) — J. Freedman/T. Life
A4. “I’m with You Now” (6:04) — B. Sigler
B1. “My Girl” (3:15) — Ronald White/Smokey Robinson
B2. “Never Stop Loving You” (5:02) — J. Freedman/T. Life
B3. “Can’t Believe a Word You Say” (3:10) — J. Gugliuzza
B4. “Leaving” (4:19) — B. Sigler/S. Marshall
B5. “Trying to Find (Someone to Love Me)” (4:43) — J. Gugliuzza
Barbara Mason and Bunny Sigler recorded rhythm tracks for Locked in This Position at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia; horns and strings for tracks A2 through B1 and B5 at Curtom Studios, Chicago; horns and strings for the remaining tracks at Sigma Sound Studios; and remixing and vocal recording at Curtom Studios, Chicago. Bunny Sigler produced the album, with Rich Tufo receiving production assistance credit.
Curtom issued “Love Song” backed with “Locked in This Position” as a 1977 single.
I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife
Barbara Mason released her eighth solo album, I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife, in 1978 on Prelude.
Weldon A. McDougal III produced the album and arranged a device billed as the “Chromulizer” — handled in performance by Salvatore Gallina — that adds an unusual timbral layer across several tracks. The rhythm section rotates across multiple bassists: Antonio Jordan, Byron Dorsey, and James L. Williams share duties. Drums go to James Campbell and Keith Benson. Guitarists Bobby Eli, Dennis Rogers, and Edward Dennis Moore cover the string parts, and Frankie Smith and Les Paul Roque handle keyboards. A three-piece backing vocal group of Jean Thomas, Pat Veney, and Tina Nichols appears throughout, and Leon Zazhery contributes saxophone. McDougal wrote the title track and “Take Me Tonight”; Dennis Rogers wrote “It Was You Boy” and “Joy in My Mind”; Frankie Smith and J. Jefferson co-wrote “So Good”; and Mason co-wrote “More of You” with F. Smith.
The album opens with “Darling Come Back Home” — written by F. Wilson, K. Wakefield, and K. Errisson — and the two longest tracks, “Take Me Tonight” and “More of You,” anchor either side at over five and six minutes respectively. The title track, at nearly five and a half minutes, develops the album’s central dramatic scenario — a confrontation framed around competing claims on one man. “Joy in My Mind” closes the record with a slower, more inward turn.
A1. “Darling Come Back Home” (4:44) — F. Wilson/K. Wakefield/K. Errisson
A2. “More of You” (5:39) — B. Mason/F. Smith
A3. “Take Me Tonight” (6:39) — Weldon A. McDougal III
A4. “It Was You Boy” (3:59) — Dennis Rogers
B1. “I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife” (5:32) — Weldon A. McDougal III
B2. “I Don’t Want No Other Love” (4:02) — M. Darby/M. Troutman/Weldon A. McDougal III
B3. “Joy in My Mind” (5:04) — Dennis Rogers
B4. “So Good” (2:58) — F. Smith/J. Jefferson
Weldon A. McDougal III produced I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife. Prelude issued “I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife” backed with “Take Me Tonight” as a single in 1978; it reached number 14 on the R&B chart. “Darling Come Back Home” backed with “It Was You Boy” followed. It did not chart.
A Piece of My Life
Barbara Mason released her seventh album, A Piece of My Life, in 1980 on WMOT Records.
The album returns to Mason’s earlier signatures — a third version of “Yes, I’m Ready” appears here, now compressed to just over four minutes — alongside nine other tracks, several of which appeared simultaneously or subsequently as singles. The record runs at a consistent midtempo pace throughout, built for a late-disco and early quiet-storm market. Full personnel credits are not present in the source.
A1. “Let Me Give You Love” (3:48)
A2. “I’ll Never Love the Same Way Twice” (4:06)
A3. “On and Off” (3:20)
A4. “Playing with My Feelings” (4:00)
A5. “I’m So in Love with You” (4:58)
B1. “Yes, I’m Ready” (4:32)
B2. “I Love Having You Around” (4:04)
B3. “You Know Who I Love” (3:55)
B4. “You’re All Inside of Me” (4:27)
B5. “You Did Not Stay Last Night” (3:52)
Butch Ingram produced A Piece of My Life. WMOT issued “I’ll Never Love the Same Way Twice” backed with “You Did Not Stay Last Night” as a single in 1980; it reached number 54 on the R&B chart.
In 1981, two singles followed from the album: “She’s Got the Papers (But I Got the Man)” Parts 1 and 2, a non-album track that reached number 29 on the R&B chart, and “On and Off” backed with “You’re All Inside of Me.”
