Bobby Hebb was originally offered "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie", but rejected it due to its novelty sound. Ross then offered it to Jay & the Techniques.[6] The song was originally recorded in January of 1967 in Bell Sound Studios in New York with Jerry Ross producing and Joe Renzetti arranging and conducting. Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson provided background vocals, accompanying the lead singer Jay Proctor; Jerry Ross used session musicians for the song's instrumental backing in place of the band the Techniques. This process would continue for all of the band's singles recorded after this.[7]
