More than only one "Only You"

[trekds947]

During my high school days, I remember hearing a cover of Yazoo's "Only You." Now, 20 years later, I can't remember who it was? I though it might be Laura Branigan but scouring through her entire discography turns up zilch. Anyone know who it could've been that recorded a cover between '81 and 84?

Thanks

I'm sure enough people have replied via email, but I had to add my two cents.

Go to allmusic - type "only you" in the search field and choose Song.
When the page comes up click on composer. Vince Clarke is around page 5 or 6. It appears lots of people have covered this - Richard Clayderman, Judy Collins, Ernest Kohl, Rita Coolidge, Jocelyn Enriquez.

I suspect some of the more mainstream performers recorded the Platters/Moonglows version & allmusic is confused.

The most successful cover of Only You was the one by the Flying Pickets in late 1983. It was an acapella song
