5.0 out of 5 stars British pop-rock group of the late sixties, February 7, 2004

The Love Affair were a British pop group of the late sixties who had one chart-topper and several other big hits. Steve Ellis was the lead singer and was sometimes the only member of the group involved in their recordings, with the regular musicians being replaced by session musicians.

Everlasting love was an American hit for Robert Knight. I haven't heard his version but I get the impression that the Love Affair version is superior, based on the opinions of those who have heard both versions. Certainly, it is difficult to imagine how the Love Affair version, with its great horn arrangement, could be improved upon. The British public clearly loved it, as it went all the way to number one in the UK charts and it has since become a staple of sixties compilations. It is easy to think of them as a one-hit wonder because, while Everlasting love is frequently re-issued, their other hits are not, except on the group's own albums. Actually, they had three other UK top ten hits - Rainbow valley, A day without love and Bringing on back the good times - and a top twenty hit, One road.

While not an essential addition to a collection of sixties pop-rock music, the Love Affair made a few great records and deserve to be remembered for more than just Everlasting love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 60's Blast, January 3, 2003

This review is from: Singles A's & B's (Audio CD)

I am a huge lover of late 60's pop and rock. I only learned of Steve Ellis And Love Affair while searching for the track Everlasting Love on a file share program. Of Course I knew the original by Robert Knight and The 1973 Remake by Carl Carlton. But when I heard it by Love Affair I was blown away by the dramatic Horn Section and Fabulous Vocals by Steve Ellis. I have since then download severals pieces by this fantastic late 60's group who is right up there with all the pop performers of there time. I recently order the 2002 release of Love Affair Singles A's and B's and Can't wait to recieve it in the mail. But I can tell from the tracks I have downloaded I know it will be great and a well worth Buy. So If you love the 60's Pop And Rock BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT!
