"The Colour of My Love" is a song written by Paul Ryan. Two artists first released it as a single on the same day, 14 March 1969. A version by Jefferson became a top-30 hit in the UK as well as charting in the UK. The other, by Billy J. Kramer, was only released in the UK and failed to chart. Paul Ryan's brother Barry also recorded a version that was released as a single in several countries. Jefferson version Release After leaving beat group the Rockin' Berries in 1968, Geoff Turton began a solo career under the pseudonym Jefferson. His first release, "Montage", failed to chart, but it was the follow-up "The Colour of My Love" that saw him first enter the charts as a solo artist. However, composer Paul Ryan was not impressed with Jefferson's version, saying "quite frankly, I think it's a load of rubbish. The production is terrible. Jefferson's a nice bloke, but it's very upsetting to hear what someone has done to your song. It's like someone framing a picture you're proud of in ...

Geoff Turton
Geoffrey Turton (born 11 March 1944, Birmingham, England), who also recorded under the name Jefferson, is a British singer. His musical career began as the falsettist lead singer and rhythm guitarist of The Rockin' Berries in 1961, which had a number of hits in the UK and Europe. The group was best known for its covers, and Turton did much of the searching and decision work as to what was to be sung. Jeffersonat AllMusic When the group broke up in 1968 Turton started a solo career, releasing a single "Don't You Believe It" on Piccadilly Records. It flopped, and Piccadilly head John Schroeder suggested that Turton change his name to Jefferson. At that time, Turton recorded the original version of "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (unreleased). The single "Montage" failed to chart, but its follow-up " The Colour of My Love" was a hit in the UK (peaking at No. 22 in the UK Singles Chart) and the United States (reaching No. 68 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100), and an LP was iss ...

The Hunt (song)
"The Hunt" is a song by Barry Ryan, released as a single in September 1969. It peaked at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. Release and reception "The Hunt" was Ryan's first single for Polydor. His previous few singles " Eloise" and " Love Is Love" had been very successful and like them "The Hunt" was written by Barry's brother Paul. However, Barry was "bitterly disappointed... with the relative failure of "The Hunt" in Britain and could only really put it down to the fact that the number was too complicated", with Paul adding that it "was not an easy number for people to catch on to". Reviewing for ''New Musical Express'', Derek Johnson wrote that "on the debit side of this disc, we have the fact that it's another Paul Ryan song is in much the same expansive style as "Eloise", and lacking the melodic content that would enable the youngsters to whistle it in the streets. On the credit side is an incredible dynamic performance by Barry; a scorching up-tempo pace; and a magnificen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
