The song was written by Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook. It was originally recorded by David and Jonathan, and then by Gene Pitney in 1967 whose version reached No. 5 on the UK singles chart but failed to chart in the USA.
It achieved its greatest success in 1988 when it was covered by Marc Almond. Originally recorded by Almond alone for his 1988 album "The Stars We Are," the single version on which he duetted with Gene Pitney spent four weeks at the top of the U.K. charts in January 1989.
so delighted to c no dislikes perfect. this is xmas 2011 and marc still looks so hot he hasnt changed like so many other 80,s guys hes still so handsom but watta song fuken brillaint
Das Lied habe ich heute auf einer meiner Kuschelrock CDs wieder gefunden. Das habe ich heute fast den ganzen Tag gehört. Ein sehr schönes Lied und nicht so ein Dreck wie er heute oft im Radio läuft.
This the film clip that introduced me to the musical excellence of Sir Gene Pitney. I haven't turned back since. I was 9 at the time and i've passed my love for Gene onto my 9 year old girl.Gene was touring in my city a year b4 he died. I remember when the news came that he was gone.I was asleep and the tv was still blaring . Then came an announcement that Gene was dead. I woke in a mess. The world will never b the same again. RIP Gene. Forever in our hearts and minds. oxoxox
I always thought this song had a bit of a homo feel to it-even the original version. Pitney looks so HOT doing the the older guy bit.. Being into daddies I developed a mega crush on him after this video-which I still have today...
I admit to being semi-homophobic but there is an air of mystique to gay musicians - such as Marc Almond here. There is an element to their music that straight men just won't have. How can sexual orientation affect the feeling a song arouses - I don't know but that's just how I feel.
This song`s Gotten Hold Of My Heart.... I love this song....
