Tina Turner was from the U.S., although she lived many years in Swizterland, so why do the pommies get this song first?
Because she did not write it.
Composer: Johannes Hendricus Van den Berg
Composer: George Young
I just listened to this version and I see why it ended up on the cutting room floor.
Based on John Paul Young’s other songs on this album, it appears the song was actually written in the early 1970s.
John Paul Young who sang the 1978 song, Love is in the Air Written and produced by the legendary George Young (big brother of Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC and ex-Easybeats/Flash & The Pan) and Harry Vanda (ex-Easybeats) who seems to have had a long relationship with John Paul Young.
