Woman, Woman
"Woman, Woman" is the debut single by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, from their 1968 debut album "Woman, Woman". It was written and composed by Jim Glaser and Jimmy Payne, and uses session musicians from The Wrecking Crew. Like most of the band's hits, it is a ballad centered around Gary Puckett's soulful vocals. The lyrics are from the perspective of a man who senses that his wife is dissatisfied with him sexually, and fears that she is going to start cheating on him. The song went to number 3 on "Cash Box" and number 4  on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in early 1968. The band recorded the song in August 1967, and it was released as their debut single in September. It was certified as a million-selling Gold disc in February 1968. The B-side was a cover of the Tim Hardin song "Don't Make Promises." An international success, the song went to number 1 in Canada in 1967 and also reached number 7 in Australia. Initially only peaking at number 48 in the UK in 1968, the song was reissued in Britain in 1974 as a double A-sided single with the  re-release of "Young Girl". This re-release was part of a CBS Records series entitled "Hall of Fame Hits". It went to number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
