As one of the writers of this song I was surprised and touched to find this video. You might appreciate knowing that in the original version of this song by Cilla Black, the "writer" was a writer of books! Of course, there were some lyric changes.

Thanks so much for doing this.

Gloria, you are more than welcome. Nice to hear from you and have you fill us in with these tidbits. I've never followed Cilla that closely but will have to check out her version. And, a big "Thank YOU" for all the great songs you've given us.

Another hard to find gem from Patti...20th Century records biggest failure! They didn't give her the backing she deserved!

Thanks for posting wally 1435!

You're welcome. Glad I can put Patt's music out there.

I had no idea that Patti had recorded this great song which was first sung by Cilla Black. 5*
