habbit - Lee Garrett (Harthon)
Don't know much about this specific track Paul, but I know Lee Garrett later left the Philly label Harthon and became writer for Motown, which is no surprise as this early 1965 record is stylistically so Motownish. In fact it predates Motown records of the same style so there may be truth in the rumour that Lee actually wrote "I can't help myself", the prototype Motown record, credited to H-D-H of course.
