In April of this year, my longtime friend and fellow high school-era rocker Bruce Huisinga sent me news about the 50th anniversary of the release of 10cc’s I’m Not In Love. I greatly enjoyed the story. Especially intriguing to me was the fact that the original version, written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, and sporting a bossa nova feel (huhwhuh?!), was roundly rejected by the other members of the band and…and…discarded! It apparently does not exist – AAARRGGG!!!
After I calmed down somewhat and listened yet again to that marvelous ’75 single, I thought “I must cover this great song, AND…include a nod to that lost bossa version!” And so, here ‘tis, and I hope you dig it!
Find this song and more of my music on the streaming platforms you see at the right of this page (or the bottom, should you be on your phone)
