  • It's just as good as Edison Lighthouse version, but in a different way? Does that make sense? I still like it, but I prefer Edison Lighthouse version, because that's the one I remember as a kid. Thanks for posting!

  • @Keach47 Yeah, I hear you. They're very similar but I think the vocals are a little rougher on this version. Also I think we're used to the Edison Lighthouse version and that's probably biased me towards that one. But this is very cool as well.

  • new to me but I like it

  • edison much more polished version

  • not even cose to tony b.

  • Did This Guy Do Anything Good? Can't Find Him Anywhere Else...?

  • @mrgrober Jefferson (real name Geoff Turton) was with UK band The Rockin' Berries and it's him singing lead on their "He's In Town" hit.

  • there was one song like this but better, still i love it ^^

  • i hate this song but its so fucking catchy

  • I believe this is the version Tony Macaulay didn't like, so he offered it to Tony Burrows to sing instead, who recorded it under the name Edison Lighthouse. i believe Tony can be heard on this version singing background with Sue & Sunny of Brotherhood of Man (Tony sang with Sunny on "United We Stand") as the background vocals were already recorded after Tony Macaulay offered it to Burrows.

  • I was on a cruise recently where an entertainer named Jamie Michael Stewart performed. He claims he was offered the song by Tony Macaulay on the day it was written. He did a wonderful version of it.

  • I know Jamie Michael Stewart from working on the cruises, he's a bullshitter. He claimed he sang the theme to the Love Boat. He didn't, Jack Jones did! I doubt Tony Macaulay would have offered it on the day it was written due to the two being in totally different countries!

  • shallow hal end music

  • Cool

  • You're right. That was the Tee Set. My hubby had their record of that as well as Jeffersons & used to play them alot. He still has them somewhere around here. The old mind goes when ya get older.

  • Thanks for the info. I had no idea it was one guy...

  • Wow, didn't know this group did this song. I only knew the Edison Lighthouse version which I have on 45. My hubby has some records of this group. Edison Lighthouse did their Baby Take Me In Your Arms. My hubby has that one on cd plus the 45 of it by Jefferson. I remember Jefferson had out a song with lyrics something about "You Do Believe In Love, You Do Believe in Happiness". I haven't heard it in yrs tho...

  • Jefferson was in fact one man , namely Geoff Turton. Geoff was the lead singer of the

    British band The Rockin` Berries who had a string of hits in the UK in the early to mid Sixties. He then left the band to pursue a solo career but many years later rejoined the band .

    Edison Lighthouse and Jefferson shared the same songwriter and producer namely Tony Macaulay .

  • Tee Set had a song called "If You Do Believe In Love" if you do believe in happiness in 1970. It was a follow-up to Ma Belle Amie.

  • Thanks for posting!
