Britain's had a history of reintroducing songs hasn't it. Much more open to revisiting older music than the states. I see this song resurfaced to promote the soccer season that year.
It's pleasant enough , upbeat, sing songy. A bit of a cake walk , but I always liked it . I'd rank it as one of Thom's better songs.😎
I don't know why, but even now listening to the Spinners version , I'm still wanting Dionne to jump in, just to amp it up a bit I guess.
Glad it finally found appreciation, that's cool when that happens. I wonder if someone called Thom Bell and told him he was number one in England !!!!
"Really? 😮 With what song?"
