  • No sadly I didn't write it and yes, the wonderful Tavares original flopped in the UK so I did my own interpretation of it and went into the UK top 10.

  • BBC should not be rewriting history by cutting this out of the repeat (even the "uncut" late night showing). Same week as Tavares were on with Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel too. This is interesting info that the BBC have not let viewers see because they're scared of complaints. Music is music, history is history. I don't care what a performer did or didn't do.

  • Dont like JK but I used to love this song when i about 13.. Take That's version is pretty good too.

  • This is effin- awful!

  • I can't say I was ever a fan of JK, but I always find his music maddeningly catchy. Maybe it was designed that way. I don't like the way that his songs are being written out of pop history. It begs the question as to who and what else the taste makers will write out. There's plenty of good music that has been overlooked over the years because it doesn't fit the taste of those with the hands on the levers. Happily, the Internet is allowing us to be proactive and listen to the music we choose.

  • nice

  • This version also did pretty good in Mexico, it was more popular than Taveres version for a while...

  • The song that Top Of The Pops on BBC4 forgot.

  • "The copyright in the footage is owned by him as performer and Internet Rights were never granted to the terrestrial broadcaster." Is this why the BBC cut it from TOTP this week? Perhaps JK requested them to.

  • cant believe the BBC cut this from this weeks Top of the Pops!

  • @CopyrightOwner2007 Are you J king then?

  • The beautiful girl in the Russian dress is Lulu Cartwright... saw a recent pic of her the other day, and she still has the same hairstyle :-)
