The only version of this I've known of up until now is by Dave & Sugar (which I posted). I'd love to hear all the others. Sadly, the Shadows were all but non-existent on radio in the US.
The best version of this song was recorded by a little known Australian female singer named LORI BALMER. Her version is even better than olivia Newton John's version.
Wonderful clip of a beautiful song. I have the album that this comes from (Specs Appeal) but I've never seen this clip before. Thanks for posting it! Would love to see the complete version.
Am I right in saying that The Shadows version of this song was actually the original and Gary Benson covered it later in the year and had the hit with it?
I see Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch. And yes that is John Farrar I think - and I hear the voice too. Also presumably Brian Bennett on drums and a keyboardist? Would love to see the whole clip.
will try and put the whole clip on soon plus more, and yes your right Hank,Bruce,John & Brian,and On Bass Guitar Is Alan Tarney,Who Wrote The No1 for Cliff, We don't Talk Anymore. 9/10
divine !!!!

Its a shame that others get credit for a good song.......John Travolta also covered some of Gary Benson 's songs........badly. A brilliant songwriter

Is that the John Farrar who wrote all those great songs for Olivia Newton-John?

I love the original of this song by Gary Benson (1975). Wish I could find it online.
Good version by the Shads though.
