Watched Pretty Woman the other day for the first time in years and am now newly obsessed with the soundtrack.
Best.
In my head for about three weeks now.
This was not a big hit, even though they pushed the looks and did all the kiddie telly shows. But - Go West made a great début album, & this is a great track from it, & over the years & zillions of airplays, & because it was in a crap Richard Gere film, this has been absorbed into the social conscience - everyone seems to know at least the choruses. So I decided to jam a more recent live performance to show this, how they have matured, how good the track still is, & why this deserves a spin on a lovely summery day. #partyon
