- This single reached number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the R&B chart.
- "Bernadette" was co-written and co-produced by Four Tops collaborators Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier.

The Four Tops were a vocal group from Detroit, Michigan, who specialized in soul, R&B, and Motown music. They were known for their tight harmonies and smooth vocal performances. This single was released during their most commercially successful period in the mid-1960s, following a string of earlier hits.
