I don't know why I had such trouble finding this song

It was early Monday evening, and I was dining at the Chipotle in Upland. Retail establishments has assembled scientific evidence that you have to play music to get people to buy buy buy. Therefore, this Chipotle was playing music to encourage us to eat more or whatever.

But while receiving the subliminal motivation to buy more chips, I heard a song that sounded interesting. It was a reggae style song, with a smooth singer, and with the chorus "I love you in every way."

Since my dinner date is not impressed with reggae, I restrained myself from searching for the song right then and there. But later that evening, armed only with the chorus and the style of music, I began my search.

Early evidence indicated that the song that I heard was a Buju Banton/Wayne Wonder song called "Bonafide Love."

But then I listened to the track and, while it was the correct tune, I realized that this was not the version that I heard at Chipotle.

Then the Who Sampled Who website provided another hint, referencing a Delroy Wilson song called "I Don't Know Why."

So I went to Spotify...and found no such song.

I did, however, find a song called "Movie Star" that matched the tune...but this was not the version that I heard at Chipotle.

Eventually, I did find a YouTube video.



Finally, I had found the exact version of the song that I heard at Chipotle. The video labeled this version as an "extended" version, which seemed to map to what I heard while eating. ("Movie Star" is less than three minutes long.)

After some further investigation, I discovered that this extended version was only released on one album:

In 2006, Heartbeat re-released the Best of Delroy Wilson...Original 12 and added six bonus cuts, including the soul nugget "I Love You Madly," the Wilson- Dodd originals "Rain from the Skies," a previously unissued extended mix of "I Don't Know Why," a killer cover of Theo Beckford's "Easy Snappin'" that has never appeared digitally before, and the stunner "One Last Kiss," originally released on 45 by the Wilson Brothers in 1965, to close the set out. How do you make a classic like this one better? Add more vintage, top-notch material, which is just what Heartbeat has done. This is an essential collection for fans of rocksteady music.

Unfortunately, this particular album wasn't on Spotify. And I couldn't find a digital version of the album on Amazon.

But I still had the YouTube video, which I could listen to via This Is My Jam.

Which could then get scrobbled on last.fm.

And you know what can happen when I do that.
