Ian Dewhirst Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 And to widen the topic even further, I actually had the job of promoting it to a completely uninterested UK Market at the time when I was a regional promotion man with Decca. No one bothered with the track as it was considered too 'pop' for the specialists and too twee for the mainstream at the time. Plus Jackie and Brunswick were pretty cold at the time against the onslaught of commercial Disco that was in vogue then. Also the song was penned by 2 very commercial UK pop writers, Kenne and Gold, so the Soul Police were suspicious from the outset! Another example of a record you almost couldn't give away for 30 odd years! Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Flipside of the UK Brunswick issue makes the release very worthwhile, a stunning Sam Dees masterpiece, but the Topside has always left me cold. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tricky Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Never understood the interest in this track.By far and away his weakest track IMO. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Liljimmycrank Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Never understood the interest in this track.By far and away his weakest track IMO. It's a great record. I agree it might not be Jackie's best work, but to be fair evn if you said it was his weakest that would still be good. Many great versions of this. Aretha, Majors but to mention a couple Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
