I know it's not much to go on, but a tune just went through my head that I am sure was a Wigan Biggie, but can't remember what it is?
It has the lyrics 'I got a whole lot of happiness happening in my heart', think it's called 'Happiness Happening'?? and was either a female vocal
or a male with a high voice? It's not the Charades btw. Any help please?

Steve,

Forgot about this version remember buying this of Alan Rhodes played a bit later was it ? 78/79

Don't really know for definite but I'd guess maybe during pop phase at Wigan ?

The UK 45 to me was more a British collectible known pre-Wigan.

It does sound very Winstanley

Remember buying this and then being appalled with myself - went in the sales box pretty rapid- seem to remember there's another version also on Viva by a different group (not the one above) - ?

Dx

PS In fact I've just found it on youtube - Eternal Flame

Thankfully I'd never heard this until this post and I have to say it is absolutely awful - even as a pop record. Was it really a Wigan biggie? 

IMO not a biggie at all but played there a few times.

By today's standards it isn't  very good. But imagine a time and place far far away where "My hearts Symphony", "Nine Times Out of Ten", "Wait a Minute" and "Joe 90" were played and danced to.......

A very poor imitation of Frankie Valli  IMO.
