Love the cover version, but where is the second singer...............was it a backing track of Mamamialove...............or was it a second background singer?

Great job Mama-And having the blessing of Ron puts the official stamp of approval-Enjoyed it a lot-

[mamamialove]

Oh hello..I am continually blown away by the connections that are possible through the internet..In these hard times..we muscians, poets, composers and singers need to support each other. Its's getting harder and harder to find time to produce art. And furthermore to produce the kind of art that touches hearts. This song is a classic..the melody line is joyful, romantic and unforgettable!

[YankeeAirPirate61]

Scintillating Sunflower petals and this song???

IT'S RIGHT...IT'S RIGHT because...because...

[mamamialove]

i love sunflowers...if i could run through a field of daisies or sunflowers...i would be so happy...and maybe a little sneezy too Hah hah!

thanks

[mamamialove]

Hello...thanks Ron..its always a pleasure to hear from the man that wrote it...that's my dream too..to have others sing my originals..

Mama

[ronvonryan]

Hello Mama, you are a ray of sunshine, there are too few people like you in the world, you are someone who enjoys giving, and making people happy. Every time I watch your video of 'Because' it brightens up my day, I wish you well. Ron.

[ronvonryan]

As the writer of this song (I was the ghost writer for the DC5), I think you did well with this song. Nice guitar, looks like a Martin 12 String. By the way Mike Smith changed one word of this song, I wrote 'right' in the middle eight, he changed it to 'chance'. Nice to see 'Because' is still being sung after all these years.

[mamamialove]

wow...thanks for visiting and taking the time for such a lovely comment.

yes the guitar is a Martin...what a great full sound huh? This song got under my skin one morning..and i just had to sing it or i would burst..hah hah..hense the sunflower.

A song of the heart it certainly is and i believe it. Great lyrics. Bless you dear.

Mama

[ronvonryan]

Hello Mama, No that I am now one of your 'friends' take a look at the video a friend of mine has put on Youtude of a song I wrote back in 1965 of me singing with a Country band I had at that time called 'Crowbait', just type in Ron Ryan Relax. Also a friend of mine called Mike Lane has a video of another of my songs on Youtube that would suit your style, just type in Mike Lane, Ebay. I would love to see you doing these songs!! One of your fans, Ron.

[mamamialove]

Jim, thank you so much...this 12 string brings me joy..its like I am always playing with someone else ( o : a great sound..its a Martin..a fine company -been around for a long long time...like me hah hah.

Blessings

[BritsRComing]

Hi Mamamia!

Very, very nice rendition of one of the most beautiful pop ballads of all time by the Dave Clark 5.

Also, and I may be incorrect on this, but I believe the song was actually originally written by Ron Ryan. Although I think Mike Smith himself included some lyrics to it also.

[mamamialove]

Yes you are right...thanks. But not all info seems to read the same.. odd...that that there is a difference of opinion...

and he was the keyboardist and lead singer...

[hunnibud]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....LOVE THIS!!! such a pretty song...love the cool key changes too...sooo sweet to see and hear you mama....MMWAH!!!!

xoxoxoxoxoxo

[mamamialove]

I caught the kiss...How are you doing sweetie?

How is the family?

This song gave me goose bumps when i heard it again recently...something about it...so romantic..huh?

xxxxooooo right back atcha...
