"Up on the Roof" is a song written by #GerryGoffin and #CaroleKing and recorded in 1962 by #TheDrifters. Released late that year, the disc became a major hit in early 1963, reaching number 5 on the #USPopSinglesChart and number 4 on the #USRAndBSinglesChart. In the UK it was a top-ten success for singer #KennyLynch, whose version was also released in 1962.

The song has been recorded by countless others, from Dusty Springfield to Rod Stewart, but Brown was the first to release it, and had the hit version in 1964. This is a live performance, in which she is backed by a great band apparently led by pianist Bernie Worrell.
