"To Know Him Is to Love Him" is a song by Phil Spector, recorded by his first band, the Teddy Bears. It went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1958. The title was altered to "To Know Her Is to Love Her" (The Beatles) and returned as "To Know You Is to Love You" (Marc Bolan and Gloria Jones, Peter and Gordon, and Bobby Vinton)
In 1987, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt covered the song, taking their version to the top of the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart. Their performance of the song on stage was accompanied by the Chippendales dancers. In 2007, Amy Winehouse recorded the song acoustically for a B-side of "You Know I'm No Good" for Napster. In the same year, the song was recorded as a duet by Jill Johnson and Lisa Miskovsky.
