People!

People! was a rock band originally formed in San Jose, California in 1965. They started out playing “Top 40” music like most artists but ended up releasing three albums of original material. Their greatest success came with a minor key hit single “I Love You”, a song written by Chris White and recorded by The Zombies that never charted in the United States. The People! version of “I Love You”, on the other hand, rose to number one in Japan (twice), Israel, Australia, Italy, South Africa, and the Philippines, and peaked at #14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in June 1968.
