"La-La (Means I Love You)" by the Delfonics, produced by Thom Bell and Stan Watson, was a number 4 U.S. Billboard pop, number 2 R&B, and number 19 U.K. pop single in 1968. The song, a classic, is one of the Delfonics' most enduring recordings and perhaps their best loved, seeing a number of cover versions as well. The song was featured in Spike Lee's 1994 film "Crooklyn". It also played a pivotal role in the film "Jackie Brown". In 2004 rapper Ghostface Killah also sampled the song for his song "Holla" from his album "The Pretty Toney Album".
