It was released as her debut single in late 1961 . This song became her signature song and her only major hit in United States, peaking at number 1 in the Billboard R&B singles chart and number 3 in the Pop Singles chart . The song was later covered by The Newbeats, Cher, Ike & Tina Turner, Bonnie Raitt, Anne Murray, Steve Marriott, Yvonne Fair, Felder's Orioles, and also a Spanish language version by Marisela was released in 1988 . The Shirelles borrowed the melody of "I Know" for their 1963 cover of "Everybody Loves A Lover". </P> <P> Barbara George began singing as a teen in her Baptist church choir and writing her own original songs . Already married by age 16, she later befriended R&B performer Jessie Hill, who wrangled her an audition with saxophonist / arranger Harold Battiste's fledgling AFO label . In June 1961, Battiste organized a split recording session for George and fellow AFO artist Prince La La at producer Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studios . Backed by New Orleans studio performers including cornetist Melvin Lastie, guitarist Roy Montrell, and drummer John Boudreaux, George cut the self - penned "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)", a vibrant, up - tempo number inspired by the traditional hymn "Just a Closer Walk with Thee". Issued via AFO's national distribution deal with Juggy Murray's Sue Records, "I Know" hit radio and retail in late 1961 and was a national' crossover' hit, topping the U.S. R&B charts and crossing over to number three on Billboard's pop countdown . </P>
