Clodagh Rodgers - Someone To Love Me

[@michaelparanormal]

Shes so underrated as a singer but shes up there with all the greats for me!😊

[@cairnmonaghan3912]

Very underrated female vocalist of the 70s great 👍

[@PHILIPJOHNSON-cw5mt]

‘Someone To Love Me’ and ‘Another Time, Another Place’ were my personal Eurovision favourites. Loved hearing Clodagh sing every song and she gave it her all. I agree that Clodagh is up there with the likes of Dusty, Sandie and Cilla. All brilliant in their own right. Clodagh could sing any style which is reflected in her album release. Please Cherry Red …. release a Clodagh box set of her original albums + a CD of rarities or a similar CD box set in a hard back bookstyle similar to the Kiki Dee collections.

I bought this record for Jack In The Box on the A side, it was a 33 RPM 7 inches record as this & Winds Of Change came joint second so both were on the B side, I played it a few times at 45 by mistake. Prefer this to JITB...

[@DavidJohnson-yq4nz]

Agree totally

[@ransack5]

WE LOVE YOU CLODAGH!! : )

[@roaring6]

Can do it on every word using sign language!

[@elkenzo2]

It was a big hit in Sweden

[@gn4854]

"Någon att älska"?

[@jrgboy]

@pratt68 Thanks for info, I believe this song and Jack in the Box were the best of the bunch , I think the others were Another time Another place, Wind of Change & Look Left, Right

[@Irishrogue61mak3]

The two best things to come outta Ballymena = 1. Clodagh Rodgers. 2. The road to belfast. ::D

[@fcuktodd]

i liked this better then her eurovision entry

[@BALLADS1]

FANTASTIC SONG My Favourite by Clodagh Rodgers. Italian origin this tune+++

[@Helvett222]

Zajebisty hit , szkoda że go nie zaśpiewała na Eurowizji ...

[@jkg04]

This was the B side to Jack in the Box....Where is Clodagh these Days ?

[@BALLADS1]

@GRAHAM2109 It seems that rules are often modified in that certain songs are "original" in that the Rees English version SOMEBODY TO LOVE 1971 is Original in English but as I said ITALY ORIGINAL. There are also sometimes claims that certain Original Euro songs "derive" from older recorded hits etc. What matters is that the song is MELODIC and GREAT as this one by Clodagh Rodgers certainly is.

[@jrg135]

@fcuktodd Clodagh sang 5 songs and the public voted ( by postcard back then) to choose the Song for Europe this one came 2nd to Jack in the Box.

[@garethbramley1]

Arranged by Johnny Arthey.

[@BALLADS1]

@GRAHAM2109 PONTICELLI is the ITALIAN ORIGINAL writer of SOMEBODY TO LOVE ME and Rees is the English songwriter who translated the Italian words to give us SOMEBODY TO LOVE 1971. QED.

[@GRAHAM2109]

@BALLADS1 It can't be Italian Origin. All songs for Eurovision have to be new and original

[@GRAHAM2109]

@BALLADS1 Then why was it allowed to be entered if it had already been recorded by another artist

[@GRAHAM2109]

@mears89 Eight years ago. I don't even remember writing it.

[@stubblelad]

What happened to her ? Didn't she do eurovision ?

[@whyayetv]

Yes - this is the song that came second in A Song For Europe 1971. She took 'Jack in the Box' to Dublin for the UK and came fourth.

[@jrgboy]

+whyayetv - I remember now I voted for her to sing this instead of Jack in the Box, but I guess that 'Jack' was more like Puppet on a String, so it won, postal votes back then !!! - we seemed to do better when the public voted, but back then there were only around 15 countries that entered the contest..

[@whyayetv]

+jrgboy there wasn't a postal vote that year due a postal strike. Instead, regional juries were used. There is a suggestion the outcome may have been different had it been a public vote and this would've been the winner. Also, check out Another Time, Another Place, also in the 1971 contest, which became a hit for Engelbert Humperdinck later in the year.

[@jrgboy]

+whyayetv Ok, Thanks, I was probably thinging about Puppet on a String, I voted for Tell the Boys..

[@cbak12sg]

+whyayetv This was joint second with Wind of Change.

[@BALLADS1]

@GRAHAM2109 You are WRONG and I quote the DISCOGS.COM page for this record : A Jack In The Box Written-By - Myers*, Worsley* 2:58 B Someone To Love Me Written-By - Ponticelli*, Rees* 2:20

[@bruceshaw2402]

She was a good singer and mimic but she recorded some rubbish songs , product of the times I suppose .
