“(I Love Her So Much) It Hurts Me” was first recorded by the Robles Brothers (Arthur, David & Ruben) in 1965 and issued on Linda Records as The Majestics.

The song was written by Arthur Robles, and co-produced by Eddie Davis and Max Uballez, The Romancers provided the foundation for an interesting arrangement that featured the Ralph Ventura Mariachi Band. Davis leased the song to Warner Bros for a second chance hit, crediting it to David & Ruben (Robles), the two versions are identical apart from the horn section which is missing from the start of the David & Ruben pressings.

Unfortunately it failed to crossover, but undaunted, Davis gave it a third and final spin in 1969, again attributed to David & Ruben, but this time on the Rampart logo.
