Paul Nicholas Just Good Friends

Hi Richard !

'Just Good Friends' (the theme song from the BBC TV series) was released earlier in 1983. It was written by John Sullivan.

Paul Nicholas was a moderately successful pop star in the 70's as well as playing Danny in Grease with Elaine Paige (taking over from Richard Gere) in the West End and being the original London Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar .He also appeared in the film of Tommy as Cousin Kevin.

He is probably best remembered in the UK for Just Good Friends an excellent and successful comedy from the 80's where he played Vince Pinner. He also sang the theme tune .I'm not sure anyone covered it which is why I did not include it on my list.John Sullivan was also the writer of the comedy series.

I suspect he named the cd after his show partly to boost sales.The version of the song on the cd is different to the single according to some reviews on Amazon.

There might be more covers on this collection.Most of my submissions are from my private collection so I have checked the songs. I do not own this CD so I have been more cautious.

However,I now plan to buy it and will post an update if appropriate.

I have now added these covers myself.

Richard, please close topics after adding the songs.
