Yep, 100% agree & I've always thought of this as a very Motown style song that would have suited Diana Ross & The Supremes in say, 1968. I'm not sure why the picture above says "UK Eurovision Winner 1984" as we were 7th. It may just mean it won in the UK only. Apparently, we were exceptionally unpopular in Europe because of our wonderful football fans!!

A brilliant Eurovision tune that again sadly never won. Its up there as one of the catchiest best losers in Eurovision history.

UK didn't deserve to win every god damn year 😅 7th position was more than sufficient for this song. Netherlands and Portugal fared a lot worse that year, even though they both had brilliant entries!

I love this so much. It was the 1984 UK entry for Eurovision. I think it came fourth. It's a real quality pop song. Better than most stuff today. FANTASTIC. I saw them on the TV doing this at Eurovision at the time. Thanks so much for making my night with this.

I was a presenter at Radio Orwell when this song was announced as the 1984 Eurovision entry. I made it my record of the week and did an interview with Belle who hailed from East Burgholt in Essex . Lovely lady and a great song It should have done much better. Very Motown

I had this 45! The cover looked the same, except it said "Britain's Song for Europe" instead of "1984 Eurovision Winner". It always reminded me of a mashup between the Supremes and ABBA.

I'm into music in a huge way and have never found it on a cd but that doesn't mean it isn't out there. I have bought a good vinyl copy and can always transfer a good copy to cd for private use, sometimes it's the only option. I have good ways and means to find out if things are on cd or not but not found this one yet.

I have a CD called This Is Eurovision which has the single version on it - About 3 minute long version, not this longer version. Trouble is that the CD is over £40 on Amazon - It was the usual CD price when I got it which was late 1990s.
