If Not For Music : Derek Holt and the story behind The Climax Blues Band Hit, I Love You

The year was 1981 and a tune was born in the apartment of Derek Holt that would live on forever. The song climbed the Billboard Hot 100 and settled at number 12. It spent a total of 27 weeks on the chart. A syrupy sweet song that says everything that you would want to say to your significant other. This is the story of how the song came to be. If you stay tuned until the end we have a special treat for you. Derek was gracious enough to send the original recorded demo. I am told not many folks have heard it. I am honored to be able to share it with you. I hope you enjoy

Another example of jealous band members. Clearly a giant hit. Anybody who denied it was a self centered idiot. Thanks for this gem, Derek.
