It was reported in the 16 January 1971 issue of Record World that in spite of a large amount of radio airtime being devoted to holiday programming, Sonny Kirshen, the VP of sales and marketing for Roulette Records had noted major breakouts of two of the label's records. They were "You're the One" by the Three Degrees from their Maybe album and "I Love You for All Seasons" by The Fuzz. Due to the recent exposure of the group on television, the song was "surging" and the record had become a hot item with one-stops for juke box locations. With the momentum of the single, vendors had been motivated to stock the album and sales had increased.Record World, January 16, 1971 - Page 23 Action at Roulette Charts The single debuted at No. 139 on the Record World 101 - 150 singles chart for the week of 26 December 1970.Record World, December 26, 1970 - Page 52 THE 101 - 150 SINGLES CHART DECEMBER 26, 1970, THIS WK. 139, LAST WK. -, YOU'RE THE ONE THREE DEGREES-Roulette 7097 (Stone Flower, BMI)
