I remember Dave Lee Travis playing this on Radio 1 on his ‘Hairy Cornflake’ Breakfast show, which we used to listen to on the way to school, and thinking that it was a really great song.
I have subsequently discovered that it was originally written in the 1970s and this version by Kim Carnes was a cover, but it is this version with its synthesizer sounds and Kim Carnes husky voice that was the massive hit and the one that we all know and love.
I seem to recall that Betty Davies herself was keen on this song, however with a Hollywood ego and there being ‘no such thing as bad publicity’ I can’t say I’m surprised…
Now listen to the song….
