I Only Want to Be with You
Encyclopedia
"I Only Want to Be with You" is a rock-and-roll song by Mike Hawker and Ivor Raymonde
. It was the first solo single released by British
singer Dusty Springfield
under her long-time producer Johnny Franz
. It has since been recorded by many artists and has charted several times.
, the song was released in November 1963, three weeks after The Springfields' final concert. The recording session took place at Olympic Studios Carton Street arranged and conducted by Ivor Raymonde and recorded by engineer Keith Grant. It was a popular success, reaching #4 UK, #12 US, #6 Australia, and #21 Canada. In the US, she was the second artist of the British Invasion
, after the Beatles, to have a hit, entering the Billboard chart at #77 in the last week of January 1964 (The Beatles having "She Loves You
" at #69 and "I Want to Hold Your Hand
" at #3).
Raymonde's arrangement is unmistakable with its relentless "ticker-ticker" beat and cascading drum rolls, full-on choirs and "Tower of Power" horn section pitched against soaring rock strings. It set the production standard for Springfield's later hits, such as "Stay Awhile" or "Little by Little". Springfield also recorded the song with an almost identical arrangement in German, with the title 'Auf dich nur wart' ich immerzu'.
The song was performed by Springfield on the first ever edition of the BBC's Top of the Pops
on January 1st 1964.
The song was re-released as a 7" & 12" single (see cover in infobox) in 1988 coinciding with its use in a soft-drink commercial, and peaked at #83 in the UK.
. It was released as the second single
in the United States
and Europe
from her third studio album
I Wanna Have Some Fun
(1988). The song was another hit for Fox, reaching number 16 in the United Kingdom
and number 31 in the United States
. The music video
does not have a plot, but scenes include Fox hunting through trash cans, dancing, fireworks, and the singer in bed with her bespectacled lover.
Television shows Fox performed the song on include Top of the Pops
in 1989 and Viva el espectáculo on TVE1 in 1990.
