SIMON SOUSSAN PROUUCTION, CAN'T REMEMBER THIS, BUT IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO, ALSO ANYONE KNOW WETHER IT WAS A COVER OF GENE CHANDLER'S SAME TITLE.

[Guest stevejan]

Don't remember this but the Gene Chandler has the writer credits as K Lewis & C Kidd...so I presume not the same song.

so do i,!!!,

Not the same song, but Simon was very good at borrowing Northern titles (Queen Of Fools, Panic etc.) for his DISCO 'creations'.

I've got the LP.

Not my most treasured item though, by a long way.

panic is an actual cover though

if ever do a thread of worse cover versions ......

[Rich B]

I seem to recall that some of his tunes sound very similar to some northern favourites, isn't Patti Brooks 'After dark' very similar to 'My dear heart'?

Best all,

Yep, same song, different words, different song-writing credits(!). Similarly Arpeggio's "Love And Desire" otherwise known as "Stronger Than Her Love"...........
