    I heard it twice, that summer, while watching Saturday morning cartoons. Well, I was an adult [[21), probably watching "Scooby-Doo", or most-likely "Josie and the Pussycats"! I was lying on the couch, brain-dead, after a Friday night out on the town. Not a hangover but extremely tired. All of a sudden I heard Jean Terrell's voice "Are you looking for Love, Love, Love". I bolted upright into a sitting position not believing my ears. [[If it wasn't Jean then it was a very good sound-alike - maybe Polly Brown, lol.)

    I knew they were rumored to be doing something like this so I wasn't totally surprised. After those two viewings of the commercial - not sure if it was the same morning or two separate Saturdays - I never saw or heard about it again. I had hoped that one day this tune would surface. I seem to recall reading that it would be an actual song for an album or even a single - probably just conjecture at the time.

    Not sure what the doll looked like. Maybe this from eBay:

    They did record it. It was a song called “Love Love Love [[You Know How Much I Need You).” It was cut sometime in 1971. I heard a rumor it was suppose to be a single.

    In J. Randy Taraborrelli's book on Motown, he wrote that the song was written by Al Cleveland as a jingle for a Hasbro doll and was also scheduled to be a single. He also wrote that the girls were to receive a $25,000 advance but the deal was canceled at the last minute.
