1972 David Cassidy – How Can I Be Sure (US:#25 UK:#1)
“How Can I Be Sure” is a popular song written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati, and originally recorded by The Young Rascals on their 1967 album Groovin’. It became their fourth Top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 4. This was the group’s highest charted record with Eddie Brigati singing lead vocals. The song featured the sounds of a trumpet, bass, piano, drums, and strings, giving the feeling of cabaret music as well as a concertina, chosen to add the feel of a French café. The song’s musical styles include blue-eyed soul and pop.
“How Can I Be Sure” was revived in 1972 with a version from David Cassidy, which became a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the Easy Listening chart. In the UK, “How Can I Be Sure” spent two weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in September and October 1972
