Roger Greenaway singing lead on the Top of the Pops performance @1:06. The RUclips version most people watch is overdubbed with the studio recording and Tony Burrows singing lead.
They should re-release all the old stuff and create an alternative music scene with it's own chart, until they can create decent modern music. It can't be that difficult.
Ricky Wolff was the actual lead singer on the studio version of My Baby Loves Lovin. It has been long-standing misinformation that Tony Burrows was the lead singer on this song. Sorry he wasn't. He was one of the backup singers.
that is true but for this clip they have used a version with Roger Greenway's vocals instead of Ricky Wolff, and also without Tony Burrows doubling on chorus as in official release version that was a hit. its just Roger we hear on this rarer version used for a Top of the Pops performance because Ricky was unavailable and in Africa at the time. Ofcourse the others are still doing the backing vocals as the backing is the same.
@@Ace90795 Tony Burrows was also a backup singer along with other members on the original recording. Tony doubled up the lead singer Ricky Wolff on chorus in the sense of singing backing vocals alongside Ricky Wolff. Here on Top of the Pops, Tony was also doubling up Roger Greenaway on chorus like he did on the recording.
Interesting interview, thanks. Not sure about the list of Greenaway-Cook compositions, though. Among others, the following were not composed by them: United We Stand - Tony Hiller & Peter Simons (aka Johnny Goodison) When You Are A King - John & Roger Hill Play Me - Neil Diamond Walk On Water - Neil Diamond Storm In A Teacup - Lynsey de Paul & Ron Roker Songs we Used To Sing - Backer Falling Apart At The Seams - Tony Macaulay I'll Put You Together Again - Black & Stevens.

How much we love Great Plains !!!! Arica, Chile
Wow... no most of these great songs..only now no the songwriters...thank for posting..
Great song but I preferred their other hit " i've got you on my mind"
Love that one. I've got it in my vinyl collection.
they should re-release this song. I often hear it in Morrisons Supermarket. Wonder what the royalties add up to after all this time
