”Just Loving You” / ”Butterfly With Coloured Wings” (CBS 2724) April 1967
Anita Harris | Just Loving You | (CBS) 1967 | It’s high time Anita Harris had a hit – and it’s a pity there’s such intense competition around just now, as this is her most commercial disc to date. A beautiful Tom Springfield song, intimately breathed in her provocative style.
In other hands, this could be sweetcorn sing-along, but Anita gives it class.
Flip: A peach of a song, with a beautiful lyric. Gently swinging rhythm, imaginatively scored delightfully rendered. A quality track. (NME, 29/04/67)
First single for the luscious one, on a Tom Springfield song of easy-moving charm and ballad appeal. But I prefer her more vocally active. (Record Mirror, 29/04/67)
Oh dear. I have a creeping suspicion that much as I do not like this record it is going to prove to be a gigantic success. Anita Harris has a very pretty voice and here she breathes away on slow lyrics.
Tom Springfield wrote the song and Alan Tew is very clever and he arranged it with slushy strings. But you see it’s the tune that does it because after it was played once I really could sing it and Family Favourites will lap it up. (Disc & Music Echo, 29/04/67)
