HE WILL BREAK YOUR HEART
"He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)" is a 1975 No. 1 song in the United States sung by Tony Orlando and Dawn. The original title of the song was "He Will Break Your Heart". It was written by Jerry Butler, Calvin Carter, and Curtis Mayfield. The song was recorded by Butler and released as a single in 1960, where it peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In addition, Butler's recording spent seven, non consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. R&B chart. Subsequent cover versions of "He Will Break Your Heart" were released by artists such as The Righteous Brothers and Freddie Scott. In the Jerry Butler version, before he connects the second verse into the third verse, he says "BUT WAIT." (More from Wikipedia)
In 1957, the Roosters changed its name to Jerry Butler and the Impressions; they had an unforgettable hit in 1958 with "For Your Precious Love" (Butler had written the lyrics when he was only 16). Jerry Butler and the band parted amicably later that year, and Butler launched a solo career; his 1960 single "He Will Break Your Heart" hit #1.
