I'm Sorry (Delfonics song)


"I'm Sorry" is a R&B/Soul song by the American vocal group The Delfonics, released in April 1968. The song was the Delfonics' second chart single and the follow up to their smash hit La-La, which went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100; indeed, "I'm Sorry" was quite reminiscent of their earlier hit, complete with similar-sounding "la la las". "I'm Sorry" just missed the pop Top 40, but was a solid performer on the soul charts, hitting #15.

Jonestown Massacre

"I'm Sorry", and several other soul tunes, were unintentionally included in the background of Jim Jones' infamous Death tape, an audio recording made during the Jonestown Massacre of November 18, 1978. The music was originally recorded onto the source tape, then recorded over by Jones, resulting in a "ghost recording". "I'm Sorry" can be heard at the very end of the tape after Jones stops talking, played at half-speed.
