Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Mister sadchild, have you ever heard Chee-Chee & Peppy's I Know I'm In Love, a #45 hit from July 1971? When they recorded this song, Keith "Chee-Chee" Bolling was 13 and Dorothy "Peppy" Moore was 12. This was written and produced by Jesse James (real name: James McClelland).
McCall was a regular on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In in 1968-69 and voiced characters in dozens of animated series including Snorks, Mother Goose & Grimm, Darkwing Duck, The Pebbles & Bamm Bamm Show and The Flintstone Comedy Hour. She and husband/partner Charlie Brill performed in comedy clubs, appeared on many television game shows, released the comedy album From Our Point Of View in 1967 and hosted middays on KFI in Los Angeles in 1975-76.

I'd never heard that tune before, but how Gawddamn great were those Buddah Records labels? Gorgeous.
Buddah Records was in existence from 1967 to 1983. Buddah also owned the Cobblestone, Desert Moon, Harbour, Raken, Southwind and Sussex labels. Among their artists were Melanie, Captain Beefheart, Brooklyn Bridge, Lemon Pipers, Ohio Express, Barry Goldberg Reunion. Andrea True Connection, 1910 Fruitgum Company and, from 1973 to 1978, Gladys Knight & the Pips. The Buddah catalogue is now owned by BMG,
In December 1969, Buddah released George Burns Sings on vinyl and 4-track cartridge. In 1973, the album was released on 8-track cartridge. Among its 16 songs are remakes of Satisfaction, King Of The Road, Ain't Misbehavin', You Made Me Love You, Mr Bojangles, The 59th Street Bridge Song, Your Mother Should Know and With A Little Help From My Friends. Old Folks, an English-language version of a French song co-written by Jacques Brel, was released as a single. Neither it, nor the album, ever charted.

Nope (well, until now)
Some would argue #45 = not a hit. Others are not so strict on the matter. As for me, I'd call it a 'minor hit' to please both sides.
