HURTING EACH OTHER

Music and Lyrics by Peter Udell and Gary Geld

“Hurting Each Other” was originally released by Ruby and the Romantics, on A&M, in 1969.  The Nick DeCaro arrangement combined a bossa nova rhythm in the verses, and a rhythm ballad feel in the choruses.  I figured it for a hit.  Wrong.  Recalling the song a couple of years later, I rearranged it, and “Hurting Each Other” became our seventh single release, and sixth consecutive gold single.
