I was a young teen in the 70's and songs like this touched my heart.You make great music.By the way,I wonder if we are related hopefully,my moms mom was a Wheeler and all her family came from England, I have done quite a bit of genealogy. My dad's side came from Scotland orginally,then migrated to Ireland before leaving for America.Can't wait to play more of your music.I'm depressed today and your music makes me happy.God Bless you for it

But there was also another rendition of the song. There were three different songs with the same melody there were by three different groups that same year so look up this one Go to youtube and type this in: "THE TOUCH OF LOVE" You will love this version. All three versions were hitched in their own countries and all over the world

Johnny,this song should have been a major hit.Maybe it needed more publicity?All I can say is wow,how beautiful every time I hear it.Woke up this morning and came to youtube to play it again and again.I tried searching online to buy this but can't.They need to make a CD of this.All I can think of is to hold up my video camera to the monitor here and record,lol,not the same but at least I'd have it although I want to hear it in my car when we travel.This song needs to be on a CD!Love it!Take care

I've got the seven inch. "My Impersonal Life" isn't bad either.But "Lovely To See You" sounds like very little else from that time. The mix of moog, piano and Hammond puts me in mind of an early Style Council track from the 80s,not something from 74. It's an incredible thing. Thanks for getting back to me!
