Background
According to Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford, "Brian would always notice when we saw a cute guy we would say, 'He's such a doll' so he picked up on it and wrote one of the great songs for us. We feel it’s a classic with the Wrecking Crew jamming too. That track and arrangement is amazing!"[2] She regarded it as the definitive song by the group, particularly for "the energy and the commitment of young imagination of the perfect boyfriend."[2]
