It was released as a single on May 13, 1970, and held the number-one spot on the soul singles chart in the US for six weeks[3] and the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for two weeks, from June 27 to July 4, 1970 and sold over 2 million copies in the United States.[4] In the UK top 40 chart, it peaked at number 7 in August 1970.
