People! was a rock band originally formed in San Jose, California in 1965. They performed top 40 music and released three albums of original material. Their greatest success came with a hit single they released called I LOVE YOU, a song written and recorded by The Zombies that never charted in the United States. The PEOPLE! version of I LOVE YOU , on the other hand, rocketed up to number one in Japan (twice), Israel, Australia, Italy, South Africa, and the Philippines, and peaked at #14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 List in June 1968.
Moreover, PEOPLE! brought to the Nineteen-Sixties music world a unique brand of innovative theatrical showmanship and exceptionally avante-garde musicianship unheard of in show business. They were considered to be ahead of their time musically, and inspired later progressive rock bands such as Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, and Genesis. They did not emerge full blown or in an instant from their collective chrysalis, but the right ingredients were all at once magically present and the wind was just right for their brief and wonderful appearance.
They broke new ground for the European and American groups who came along later in the course of Rock History and introduced a number of "firsts".
PEOPLE! surprisingly incorporated two drummers in their live show long before The Grateful Dead , The Allman Brother's Band, The Doobie Brothers, or Genesis.
They were the first to present a dramatic Rock Opera onstage with the creation of THE EPIC.
PEOPLE! also featured more than one lead singer long before groups who came along later like ABBA, Three Dog Night, or The Blues Brothers.
On October 19, 2007 PEOPLE! was inducted into the San Jose Rocks Hall of Fame and played together for the first time in many years. SAN JOSE ROCKS
"I Love You" is a 1995 single by Mary J. Blige, taken from her second album My Life. Released only as a radio single, I Love You made an amazing impact for radio only singles, implying major airplay as it rose to the peak of #60. It was occasionally the B-Side for the previous dance hit, You Bring Me Joy. There were talks of a possible video for this along with You Bring Me Joy, but plans were scrapped as it performed well on its own. A remix was made with rapper duo Smif-n-Wessun.
"I Love You" is a disco single by Donna Summer which became a U.K. Top 10 in 1977. It was originally featured on the highly acclaimed Once Upon a Time album but was edited in length for its release as a single. The album was a double LP concept album telling a modern-day Cinderella rags-to-riches story, and this song is featured towards the end of the album when the main character and the object of her desires declare their love for each other.
"I Love You" was a popular song, written in 1939 by Cole Porter and popularized by Bing Crosby in 1944. It was also recorded by saxophone great John Coltrane on his album "Lush Life".
