Шаблон:Infobox song

"I'm in Love" is a song written by Bobby Womack. It was first recorded by Wilson Pickett in 1967, which gave him a top-ten R&B hit on Billboard's chart in 1968, peaking at number 4 as well as peaking at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]

Background

"I'm in Love" was written in response to some of the criticism he had been receiving after marrying the widow of the recently deceased Sam Cooke.

Cover versions

  • Womack himself recorded his version of the song in 1968 shortly after Pickett's version was released and included it on his 1969 album, Fly Me to the Moon.
  • The version to achieve the most success came in 1974, when Aretha Franklin released it as a single. Her version hit number 1 on Billboard's R&B chart for two weeks and also peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Wilson Pickett's version is most recently used as the back-track for Nature of the Beast's "When It's Good".
  • Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers covered the song in concert in the early 1980s, and a version is featured on their set The Live Anthology.
  • The Temptations covered the song in 2007 in the studio album Back to Front.
