Paul Nicholas is perhaps better known for being an actor than a singer, but music was where he actually started out. By the time he had any chart success though he was already an established actor.
This was the last of his Top 40 hits, which came a little over a year after his first which was "Reggae Like It Used To Be". Whilst this was his lowest charting hit in the UK, it was his biggest hit internationally. Most notably was New Zealand where it topped the charts. It also made number 6 in the American charts.
The song was written by Dominic Bugatti and Frank Musker who had written all 4 Top 40 hits for Paul Nicholas. As a duo they also wrote "Woman In Love" and "My Simple Heart" which were both hits for the Three Degrees, "Married Men" which was a hit for Bonnie Tyler and "Modern Girl" which was a hit for Sheena Easton.
Dominic Bugatti would compose another Sheena Easton hit, "When He Shines". Frank Musker had a handful of further hits including being co-writer on "Too Much Love Will Kill You" by Brian May and later by Queen.
