My Mum may have been a little older than you (or a lot) it was a postgrad. Born 1950. Brisbane tho' UQ :) We both love/d this song so much. She's passed now so it's a really nice memory. Thanks so much for sharing!

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the album Bad Habits on CD. I have searched on-line but have yet to track anything down. I would get my vinyl copy converted but it has a small scratch on the title track :-(

Thank you so much for posting; one of my all time favourites!

Bless you nzoz for posting these Gems from our youthful years !

I remember when this came out, some people were kind of against Billy Field cos they thought he was just a lucky,privileged guy with the money to make it big, unlike say your working class rocker. Anyhow, Billy did a great job on this one ! I wouldve thought the sinatra set wouldve adored this song - its got Swing !
