Reference to sales edit

Just wondering, how did this song perform in the UK charts? The article mentions America, but seeing as all people involved were British, wouldn't it be more relevant to include details about its chart history here? 90.209.8.101 (talk) 11:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Manfred Mann edit

The article cites Manfred Mann as not being interested in the song, but there was a recording on Youtube purportedly of the group performing the song on the BBC's 'Saturday Club'. Unfortunately it's been removed, does anyone have any other usable evidence? --Deke42 (talk) 09:16, 26 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I used to see Steve Waller guitarist and songwriter (ex Manfred Mann), regularly back in the 70s. I recently discovered this video of Steve playing a local pub where he claims to have written the song for Mike d'Abo, see video 13mins 50 secs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFPT3q8Is8g&t=309s&ab_channel=Visabilityprods Aberbuddha (talk) 11:09, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
