Saxophone intro sounds a bit pilfiered from the great Jr.Walker's "What Does it Take to Win Your Love". Did these guys ever try to break through in America. I was working in the music biz back then and never heard of them until I was looking for The Jackson's "Blame It on the Boogie".
for some reason I actually liked this song...bought the 12" Gary barnacle version about 5 mins of sax at the beginning!...great song! I first saw it on Hitman and her and had to have it! ang on wasn't the hitman and her about promoting SAW stuff anyway? oh I still have the 12" but no deck ...sob

sonia once stayed over at the cedar court hotel in bradford i served her with a cheese burger and chips she was playing pool with dane bowers the head chef said she was an ugly fucker
This is such a gorgeous song - tear in my eye - and for such a good cause at the time too. Sonia is fab I'd love her to do Dancing on Ice or Celebrity Wife Swap (is she married?). Can anyone post the 12" Thanks for postng.
Liked the video, again I dont think it really sound like PWL. I think it got to number 14. Did anyone have any other app of this song? I remember them being on top of the pops with it.
Not one of his greatest musical efforts but the sax guy on the vid is Gary Barnacle. He was originally credited on the single as being by "Big Fun and Sonia feat Gary Barnacle" - youtube please note.
This song has been in my brain for 20 years without hearing it and I can't get it out. Lost count of the times I've searched for it on p2p. Thanks so much for posting. Maybe this will finally help me exorcise it.
Dear Valencia. If you have this song on mp3, I want to have it as well. I think it's a kind of special downtempo song of Stock Aitken Waterman songs. The voice of Sonia is so superb. It would be nice if you could send it to me. Reply to me and I'll give my e-mail.
Just because something is for chairty doesn't mean it suddenly has musical value. Look at Elton John's Princess Diana remix of "Candle In The Wind" for example.
I'm quite a PWL/SAW fan myself but I hate this - it just doesn't lift, it doesn't go anywhere. Big Fun were better when they were Seventh Avenue and Ian Levine was at the helm - laid the foundations for him making Take That the sucess they were. I'd still quite like to fuck them though.
I couldn't disagree more with the other commenter. What a perfectly dreadful song, sung by two artists without a shred of charisma between them. No wonder their careers hit dead ends soon after this. The video looks like it was made with the director's son's milk money. But was it worth him geting a starring role, and not having anything to drink at recess? Personally, I would opted for the semi-skinned..
Anxrarse-what crap, this vid is a fairly good standard, especially considering its age, and it was for the Childline charity, which raised thousands. Pls direct your juvenile comments elsewhere.
What had you acheived at the age of 21, collecting tolls on the autobahn? Did you know that the boys sold half a million records and are listed in the Guinness book of world records for having 3 hits in the top 10 at the same time....what little you know.
Charisma can take many forms, depending on societies grip on the current era, study marketing trends( if u think u r truely in tune with 2day), look back, with not discorn, but with a brain enabled to understand! URACALIFBUTTHEAD!
Sonia was a lucky lady to be surrounded by those three blonde beauties.
