Mickey and Sylvia heard Jody Williams play a guitar riff that Williams had played on Billy Stewart 's debut single `` Billy 's Blues ''. `` Billy 's Blues '' was released as a single in June 1956 and the instrumentation combined a regular blues styling with Afro - Cuban styling. Sylvia Robinson claims that she and Mickey Baker wrote the lyrics, while Bo Diddley claims that he wrote them.

A second Mickey & Sylvia studio recording, recorded some years after, featured now - legendary drummer Bernard `` Pretty '' Purdie on his first paid session gig. The song is noted for its spoken dialogue section which goes as follows : `` Sylvia ! '' `` Yes, Mickey. '' `` How do you call your Lover Boy ? '' `` Come here, Lover Boy ! '' `` And if he does n't answer ? '' `` Oh, Lover Boy ! '' `` And if he still does n't answer ? '' `` I simply say... '' ( Sung ) `` Baby / Oh baby / My sweet baby / You 're the one. '' ( The sung part is repeated with Mickey singing the harmony. ) ( This is followed by a repeat of the instrumental section before the song 's fade. ) Charts and accolades `` Love Is Strange '' peaked at # 1 on Billboard magazine 's most played by jockeys R&B Singles chart on March 6, 1957 and # 11 on the Hot 100.
