Background
The song discussed how the two narrators felt lonely until they met each other referring to their past as it happened "once upon a time".
Cash Box described it as "a most attractive shuffle-beat cha cha romancer" and an "excellent instrumental showcase." [2]
The duo of Gaye and Wells would never be able to promote the record as Wells had already left the label at the time of its release. Gaye himself wouldn't perform it until his final concert tour,the Sexual Healing Tour,in 1983,rearranging it as a slow quiet storm ballad to the delight of his fans.
