supports: The Friends of Distinction were an American vocal group best known for their late 1960s hits, "Grazing in the Grass", "Love or Let Me Be Lonely", and "Going in Circles". Founded by Harry Elston and Floyd Butler, The Friends of Distinction also included Jessica Cleaves and Barbara Jean Love (plus Charlene Gibson, who replaced Love during her pregnancy). Cool Night is the seventh and final studio album by singer/songwriter Paul Davis. It was his highest-charting album in the United States, reaching #52 on the Billboard album chart, and yielded three top-40 singles, "Cool Night", "'65 Love Affair", and "Love or Let Me Be Lonely". The third was a remake of a song by The Friends of Distinction. This album was the first to be both recorded and mixed digitally. It was Davis' most successful album and was 2x (Platinum) by the R.I.A.A . "Love or Let Me Be Lonely" is a pop song recorded by the soul group The Friends of Distinction and released as a single in early 1970. The song was a multi-format success, peaking in the top 10 of the "Billboard" Hot 100 at #6 and at #13 on the R&B chart. On the Adult Contemporary singles charts, "Love or Let Me Lonely" went to #9.
  The song is ranked as the 63rd biggest hit of 1970. `` ' 65 Love Affair '' is a song performed by Paul Davis on his album Cool Night . Released in 1982 , the song hit # 6 for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1982 . It spent 20 weeks on the chart , and on the Billboard Year - End Hot 100 chart , it placed at # 39 , and on Cashbox 's chart at # 60 . This song marked Davis 's second single release upon his departure from Bang Records to Arista , the first being `` Cool Night '' . The style of `` ' 65 Love Affair '' was reminiscent of such blue - eyed soul groups as Hall & Oates , a vein that Davis had not explored before . Davis had originally titled the song `` ' 55 Love Affair '' , but Arista felt that some modernization was needed to target an audience whose teenage years had occurred in the 1960s , including Davis himself . As Arista pointed out , Davis was only 7 years old in 1955 , too young for any meaningful `` love affair '' , but was 17 years old in 1965 , perfect for the song . Davis 's previous hits had been country - oriented or ballads . The format change to pop proved to be quite marketable . `` ' 65 Love Affair '' and `` Cool Night '' , which were recorded at the same time , ranked first and third in terms of his Hot 100 peaks ( `` I Go Crazy '' ranked second ) . In spite of this popular success , Davis was so disgusted with the commercialized result that he opted out of his contract with Arista and signed with Razor & Tie Record Company , a label on which Davis never charted on the Hot 100 .
