Sincerely (song)

"Sincerely" is a popular song written by Harvey Fuqua and Alan Freed and published in 1954.

Originally recorded by The Moonglows, the biggest-selling version was a cover version recorded by The McGuire Sisters, entering the charts in 1954 and reaching #1 the next year. Although many Rhythm & Blues collectors decry the cover version by the McGuire Sisters, which kept the Moonglows off the Pop charts, most overlook that the Moonglows' version stole lyrics from a 1951 Dominoes tune, "That's What You're Doing To Me." The bridge in both songs is almost identical: "Lord, won't you tell me/ Why I love that woman so?/ She doesn't want me/ But I'll never let her go."
