This song came out when I met my husband Gareth in 1986 - it was played everywhere. He was so macho working in construction at the time & 9 yrs younger than me ! We were together for 34 yrs until I lost him to cancer in2020 at 58 yrs old. This song takes me right back there to that time. I love you Gar & I miss you love.

For those who might be interested, I directed this video - on a shoe-string - in my London flat... It used to be on my channel but, alas, SME have blocked it world-wide... Great track, a fun day's shooting - and without this video, which Simon got screened on Saturday morning kids' tv - it would probably have not been a hit... it was for it's third release that we made the video...

And bam just like that, Simon Cowell's first phenomenon was born. All these years, I had no idea until now that this was the first artist he ever signed, under the defunct Fanfare Records in 1985

And he claims he had the chance to sign Kylie Minogue after her - but how much that is true we’ll never know. We all know how much Simon Cowell likes to inflate his ego…

[@9ColorZebra]

Brings back great memories from 1986. This song was popular in the straight discos in Scotland at the time. I bought the song on a 45 to take back to the states.

[@rjjcms1]

I thought it would be popular in both straight and gay discos!

[@AutPen38]

I used to read Record Mirror back around then and it included a hi-NRG chart that basically listed the tunes that were big on the London gay scene, and it also had a Scottish dance chart. The crossover between the two charts was remarkable. Was everyone in Scotland sniffing poppers like the London scenesters?

This song wasn’t produced by Stock Aitken Waterman

[@AutPen38]

It's quite amazing that it sounds just like the later SAW productions, but they actually had nothing to do with it. That whole hi-NRG gay disco sound was their archetype for the string of big hits they had after this.

[@AutPen38]

It was released three times as a single before it finally crossed over from the London gay clubs (and Scottish discos) to the kids that put records in the national pop charts. This video (made very cheaply with Simon Cowell's "last 500 quid") was for the third release.

[@AngelDjay]
