Not much other backstory out there about this one, but I am amazed at the number of people who have covered this one, including Prince, Aaron Neville, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Dionne Warwick and others. Provided to YouTube by AristaBetcha By Golly Wow The song was written by Linda Creed and Thom Bell, who wrote a number of songs for The Stylistics. What I did not know, however, is that this song was first recorded under the title Keep Growing Strong by Connie Stevens in 1970! It was two years later that The Stylistics released their more successful version under the title Betcha By Golly, Wow. And betcha by golly, wow You're the one that I've been waiting for forever And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong Keep growin' strong If I could I'd catch a falling star To shine on you so I'll know where you are Order rainbows in your favorite shade To show I love you, thinking of you Write your name across the sky Anything you ask. And ever will my love 4 u keep growing strong. I couldn’t recall ever hearing the latter, but I went in search of and found that I definitely recognized the song, just not the title. Watch the video for Betcha By Golly Wow from Princes Emancipation for free, and see the artwork, lyrics and similar artists. A couple of weeks ago, I played You Make Me Feel Brand New by The Stylistics, and a reader commented that it was his favourite of The Stylistics songs, along with Betcha By Golly, Wow.
