I'm a huge Rainbow fan and by extension a Russ Ballard fan...but I'm from Hull and a huge Paul Heaton fan too...this version is my idea of heaven...it quite literally made my hair stand on end! Fantastic version!!

Is there anytime you two can't do?. You just brought me back to the local nightclub scene in Clonmel Co. Tipperary over 30 years ago. A lot of people have passed on since then including the DJ who used to blast this out. Good times and great memories before we all had to grow up.

[@ianwalshaw1274]

The version by Rainbow wasn’t the original, there were a couple of versions of the song before Ritchie Blackmore et al made it their own. This is just nice, but not great unlike Rainbow’s version against which all others will be measured.

[@stewartmcardle8149]

The original was composed by Russ Ballard, formerly of The Roulettes and Argent, from his second solo album "Winning" in 1976.

[@davelate4148]
