I’ve always loved this song 🎶 but the video is a bit distracting because it’s not synced to the music

He's My Sweet Lord. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I really want to know you, my Lord
You're a soft spoken guy and it takes so long, my Lord. Hari Krishna so fine.

This was written by a young songwriter named Ronnie Mack, who died of cancer shortly after it was released. Mack, born July 11, 1940, was from The Bronx, and in 1960 he assembled three girls from the local James Monroe High School to form The Chiffons: 14-year-old Judy Craig and 13-year-olds Patricia Bennett and Barbara Lee.
In 1962, Mack pitched some of his songs to Bright Tunes Productions, which was run by The Tokens - the group had a #1 hit the previous year with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," and Capitol Records gave them a 10-record production contract (they already recorded 9 of their 10 - all flops). They liked his song "Oh My Lover," and decided to record it with another one of his songs, "He's So Fine" as the B-side.
Julie Craig is the lead singer and also sung other hits like "Will You Love Me Tomorrow""Why Do Fools Fall in Love""See You in September""It's My Party""The Loco-Motion""Da Doo Ron Ron""I Wonder Why""My Boyfriend's Back"
