Robert Knight...his original 'Everlasting Love' was co-written by Buzz Cason & Mac Gayden in 1967. That original entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart at #83, the week of Sept. 30th. It peaked at #13, the weeks of Nov. 18th & 25th. Love Affair's version followed closely on Knight's heels and was an U.K. #1 smash hit in Jan. '68. The list below contains other notable covers. * Robert Knight (1967) #13 U.S. * The Love Affair (Dec. 1967) #1 U.S. * Carl Carlton (1974) #6 U.S. * Rex Smith & Rachel Sweet (1981) #32 U.S. * Sandra (1987) #5 Europe * U2 (1989) #11 U.S. Modern Rock * Worlds Apart (1994) #20 UK * Gloria Estefan (1995) #27 US, #19 UK * Jamie Cullum (2004) #20 UK Robert Knight, 1967 The song 'Everlasting Love' was first recorded by Robert Knight in 1967. It was also recorded by Steve Ellis and "Love Affair" in the 1960s. Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers: * If it's the version I think you're asking about, it was done by Carl Carlton. However there were TWO Everlasting Love's. The other one was recorded by Andy Gibb in 1978. * Gloria Estafan also did it in the early 1990s. * 'Everlasting Love' was originally sung by Robert Knight in 1967. I checked it. The song starts like this: Hearts go astray, Leaving hurt when they go, I went away, Just when you needed me so, Filled with regret, I come back begging you, Forgive, forget Where's the love we once knew * Then that's by him alright! I think I might download the song now....sounds interesting and the lyrics sound cool. lol Hope this will helpful.

Robert Knight was a protégé of Mac Gayden and Buzz Cason, who wrote the song for him. A cover of this by English band Love Affair, reached #1 on the UK charts in 1968, relegating Knight's original to #40. However, the Knight version was reissued in the UK in 1974 and reached #19. Mac Gayden, who co-wrote the song, recorded it on his album Skybird. Gayden was a session guitarist who was once a member of the country supergroup Area Code 615. (thanks, Tony - Devon, England, for above 2) Love Affair used sessions musicians rather than the band itself on their version. The only member of the group who performed on it was their 16-year-old vocalist Steve Ellis. In an interview with Shindig magazine, Ellis said, "The general opinion seemed to be that I should do it with an orchestra and then give it a Phil Spector-type production. Obviously I felt odd without the band being in the studio but it was for the good of all involved. Two takes and it was done. The band were not too concerned about this approach to things." Love affair went onto achieve 5 more UK Top-20 hits on which the group did get to perform. Jazz vocalist Jaime Cullum's 2004 version was the 8th version of the song to make the UK charts, reaffirming the song's status as the second most covered track in UK chart history (only "Unchained Melody" with 9 versions can beat it). Since Love Affair hit the top alongside Robert Knight's US original in 1968 there have been chart covers by Gloria Estefan and The Cast From Casualty among others - this latter version was the only other version to go Top 10. The 1974 reissue of this song was Knight's last chart success. He later pursued a career in chemical research. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 3) In 2006, this was used in TV commercials for Pringles Crisps.

Hearts go astray

Leaving hurt when they go

I went away

Just when you needed me so

Filled with regret

I come back beggin you

Forgive, forget

Wheres the love we once knew?

Open up your eyes

Here stand with my

Everlasting love

Need you by my side

Want to be your bride

Everlasting love

Everlasting love

When lifes river flows

No one really knows

Till someones there to show
