It was one of the most successful recordings of the “Philly Soul” era.

It would be his last day at WFIL before taking a gig at WABC Radio in New York. In the U.S., “When Will I See You Again” peaked at number 2 on the pop singles chart, behind “Kung Fu Fighting” by Carl Douglas. The song reached number 1 on the adult contemporary chart, and number 4 on the R&B chart in the US in the autumn of 1974. In the UK, it fared even better, spending two weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart in August 1974.
