January February - Barbara Dickson

Another single produced by Alan Tarney, 'January February' was also written by him. The single reached number 11 in the UK in April 1980, spending a total of 10 weeks in the chart. It was Dickson's biggest hit since "Answer Me" in 1976 and would be her biggest until the UK number 1 hit 'I Know Him So Well' together with Elaine Paige in 1985.

Mary Roos recorded a German version of this song, entitled 'Wenn ich dich nicht halten kann' ('If I cannot hold you').

My collection: 7" single no. 3292
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, February 24, 2001

  1. Some songs are just forgotten, but are actually nice to hear. This one is just an example of that.
