Bit of a sore point that, Steve. Melanie claimed she'd written it, and the Stones had ripped her off. Hence her other single, Look What Thay've Done To My Song, Mom.

I prefer the Stones' version myself. I was under the impression Ms Safka claimed she wrote the song, but I can't seem to find any online reference to it.

Maybe I dreamt it !confused!

Alfie..I believe most people think it was Cilla Black who sang the theme tune to the film, when in fact it was Cher.
Cilla recorded her own version afterwards.
