Lyn Paul - It oughta sell a million

Originally a jingle recorded for Coca-Cola at the same time as "I'd like to teach the world to sing" by The New Seekers in early 70's . Lyn Paul saw the commercial on TV with this song in 1975( the link of the original commercial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X14ryEIdDNU&feature=related), so she asked Roger Greenaway ("I'd like to teach the world to sing" and "It oughta sell a million" were composed by Bill Backer, Billy Davis, Roger Cook, Roger Greenaway) to write additional lyrics for the song. Lyn Paul's version was released in 1975 as the first single of her one and only solo album "Give me love". The song reached No.37 of the Hit Parade in UK. This is the mono version of this song.

Anoterh great song by Lyn Paul on the single "Give me Love". It topped the HK chart right after Love, from the same single. Another of Lyn Paul's top hit I remember by heart since 14 ,i.e., 1975. Great to find this song here.

I remember when Lyn Paul was with Ross Mitchell and The Noctures pop group, what a sexy ladyl anyone else saw them.The Locarno Streatham, or the Tottenham Royal.

I don't even know where to start, but between Lyn and Perter Doyle, I'm absolutely smitten. I write reviews at Amazon.com US under the name Carlisle Wheeling (Magic Hollow) and don't think I gave the Songbook collection the credit it deserves. What happened to cause this fabulous lineup to go seperate ways? They truly had something special!

I'm a new fan of the New Seekers because they weren't a household word in America. Nice single by Lyn. She sounds much better when she sings upbeat and slightly raunchy, similar to "You Won't Find Another Fool." I'm still learning all I can about this group, because I like them better than ABBA . Their music often had a bit more edge to it.
