Another friend who I’d known since the seventies. We recorded the single “I Feel Like Buddy Holly” together (me producing, and him singing, obviously). It was a very personal song for me, being one of the three “heartache hits” I wrote about my wife Julianne; the others being “A Winter’s Tale” for David Essex and “Please Don’t Fall In Love” for Cliff Richard” all written in 1982. Alvin’s single was number 7 in the UK chart for two weeks in a row in 1983.
