26 JANUARY 1966
This song - one of my favourites of theirs - had previously been released in the US in 1965 by soul singer Jimmy Radcliffe but had only reached #163. The Walker Brothers were at their peak during this time, and they totally nail this song with great vocals and brilliant production.
As with most Walker Brothers' video clips, the drummer (Gary Leeds/Walker) with his tiny drum kit looks lost here beside the two singers miming to such a heavily orchestrated song. Then again, he didn’t even play much on their actual recordings.
