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 and No. 3 on the Cash Box Top 100. 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. '' Chart history Chart ( 1960 - 61 ) Peak position U.S. Billboard Hot 100 7 U.S. Billboard R&B U.S. Cash Box Top 100 Tony Orlando and Dawn version When Orlando and the other members of Dawn ( Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson ) were waiting in the lobby to go on at a Golden Globes award ceremony, Orlando spoke with Faye Dunaway and her then - husband, Peter Wolf, lead singer for The J. Geils Band. To pass the time, the two began singing various R&B songs from the ` 60s, including Butler 's `` He Will Break Your Heart '', which the couple recommended that the group record on an upcoming album. Orlando contacted Mayfield requesting permission to do a remake, but to change the song 's title to the opening lines, and Mayfield gave his permission. Billboard ranked it as the No. 18 song for 1975. Another track from the same 1975 album was adapted from an Italian hit by Giorgio Gaber from two years prior entitled Far Finta di Essere Sani recorded in English as Tomorrow 's Got to be Sunny. Even though the song did not chart, it became a concert favorite.
