"Just One Look" is a song co-written by American R&B singers Doris Troy and Gregory Carroll. The recording by Doris Troy was a hit in 1963. The Hollies, Anne Murray and Linda Ronstadt recorded hit versions of their own. There have also been many other versions of this song.
Details vary as to how the Doris Troy version came to be released on Atlantic Records. According to the book Billboard Book of One-Hit Wonders, James Brown saw Troy performing in a nightclub (under her then-stage name Doris Payne), and introduced her to Atlantic. According to a more recent and detailed story in Soulful Divas, Payne recorded a studio demo of the song and took it to Sue Records first, but their lack of response led her to offer it to Jerry Wexler at Atlantic, where the label released the demo unchanged. The personnel on this song included Ernie Hayes on piano, Wally Richardson on guitar, Bob Bushnell on bass and Bernard Purdie on drums.
The single's release was the first time she started using "Doris Troy" as her stage name, though her pen name remained Doris Payne. The album also lists the surname Payne in the songwriting credits.
Reception
In 1963, Doris Troy scored her only hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Just One Look". The song spent 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 10, while reaching No. 3 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, No. 8 on New Zealand's "Lever Hit Parade", and No. 1 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade. The song also charted at No. 9 on the Cash Box Top 100, in a tandem ranking with the version by Andy and the Marglows, with Troy's version marked as a bestseller.
The song was ranked No. 70 on Billboard's end of year ranking "Top Records of 1963", while being ranked No. 80 on Cash Box's "Top 100 Chart Hits of 1963", and No. 11 on Billboard's "Top R&B Singles for 1963".
RIP Doris Troy (January 6, 1937 - February 16, 2004), aged 67
You will be remembered as a legend.
Rip Doris. This is your song. Beautiful music and a beautiful singer. Fabulous voice. RIP sweetie.
Spring 1963...ah yes one day at our office just behind St, Paul's Cathedral in London it took just one look and bang that gorgeous girl (Gill) who suddenly wasn't just the prettiest girl in the building but someone I couldn't live without. I ran to the florist and ordered flowers sent to her home, then did it again the following week. It Worked!! We went out to a film, I've loved her ever since and here we are in our seventies and still in love!! Slushy? Maybe but believe me Love is what counts in this world, very little else does.
Soppy sod hahaha ps well done 👍
Love it. Stay Blessed!
So sweet got a grandson?
Lucky man!
My favourite group the hollies did a great cover of this song but Doris it’s all yours just stunning
Linda Ronstadt made a very good cover as well.

Wow she died on my birthday. But I was born in 71
I just learned about Doris after I was touched by her backup singing on Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon
Best version ❤️
60 years ago, Just One Look (that's all it took) was new on the HOT 100 📻 at #100 peaking #10 by August 1963. It was the only hit by Doris Troy 🖤💚💜💛.

I like this by Doris Troy and The Hollies but for different reasons.
What are the reasons?
Don’t forget Linda Ronstadt’s version
I don't know which one is better - of her or Hollies.
Honestly hate how everything’s got to be a competition in music in some peoples’ heads.
I can coexist with the fact some people like other versions better. Though in my eyes I’ll always love the original best.
No No No! That Is Tower Bridge, NOT London Bridge. Even Fergie (Black Eyed Peas) got It wrong In her video for a song called London Bridge. Lol.
American Bandstand

Dick Clark ..
Another song that I thought that a man was singing.
Me 2 after all these years
