"Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" is a 1967 song written by Maurice Irby, Jr., produced by Jerry Ross, arranged by Joe Renzetti and performed by Jay & the Techniques on their 1968 album of the same name.
Bobby Hebb was originally offered "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie", but rejected it due to its novelty sound.
Jerry Ross then offered it to Jay & the Techniques.
The song was originally recorded in January 1967 at Bell Sound Studios in New York with Ross producing and Joe Renzetti arranging and conducting.
Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson provided background vocals, accompanying the lead singer Jay Proctor.
Ross used session musicians for the instrumental backing in place of the Techniques.
This process would continue for all of the band's singles recorded after this.
"Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" reached #6 on the Billboard chart and #8 on the U.S. R&B chart.
Outside the United States, it peaked at #6 on the Canadian R&B chart, and #61 on the Canadian pop chart.

@joyce Hi, Joyce. I am with you…..until I found this picture of the band, I had no idea about the women either. Glad you enjoyed my rendition of this pop hit. It was a lot of fun doing it. I wish I had thought about you and the Social-Lites. It would have sounded better imho. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I haven't heard about any major CA fires lately….that's a good thing….:-)
