      They both are awesome songs though nonetheless and both hit no.2 in the UK.

      Everyone dressed up to go clubbing back then. Men wore trendy suits and heeled shoes/boots, and women wore dresses and stilettos. Now, men wear jeans, t- shirts, and trainers and 50 % of the women do too. I still make an effort on a daily basis, even in my mid 50s, minus the stilettos, they kill your feet. Lol 😊

    On granddaughters birthdays I like to send them a happy birthday song, I chose this one for 18th birthday. She loved it. My musical history commenced in the late 50’s, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Duncan etc. By the time the 80’s arrived, there was little I liked. I’d heard of Altered Images, but cannot recall specifically any songs. Now, at the age of 80, and having sent granddaughter this track, I’m now working through the tracks available today. Cannot understand how I managed to miss this group. They are fanbloodytastic! Thanks you lot, sung with heart and soul. 👍😃

    I can't think of any other singer or band member from all those years ago who is still held in such high regard and is remembered with such genuine affection. Perhaps it's because Clare really looked as if she could have been the pretty, cheeky girl next door - happy, laughing and eminently kissable. Certainly, an awful lot of boys lost their hearts to her and still remember her fondly :)

(Well, Manchester groups aren't too bad. either, wink, wink.) So glad so many of them are still touring for us old timers to enjoy and relive "back in the day" memories. My son, now 26, agrees that music from this era will never be equaled and enjoys it as much as I do - I guess a statement that great music never fades away.
