The song in the last year or so gained serious attention and royalties with the use of their song "You and Me" in the film Blue Valentine. Director Derek Cinefrance asked Ryan Gosling to pick a song for Michelle Williams in character for the film and the song he chose was the tune "You and Me." So as you see it in the film, Ryan's character giving Michelle's a song, that really happened, all in good fun.
So thanks to Gosling's choice of song, the funk and soul big wigs Numero Group have the rights to the song. Seemingly they released a tune on one of their compilations and that's how Gosling got ear of it. The tune was bought by Numero Group at an estate sale in a box of rehearsal group tapes. They've actively sought to find any members of Penny & the Quaraters - no luck had!
They figure the song was recorded some time between 1970 and 1975.
