Burt & Hal Song Question

Post by warbachavid »

Did they write a song called "Baby I Could Be So Good At Loving You", for Cliff Richard?

It was written and recorded by singer/songwriter Buzz Clifford on a late 60's album. Cover versions have been recorded by noted artists such as The Friends of Distinction, The Sandpipers, and Ruby & the Romantics. One of the nicest versions is by an obcure singer named Eddie Jason that has a very Bacharach sounding arrangement by Charles Callelo.

Buzz Clifford's greatest claim to fame came in the early 60's with the novelty song "Baby Sittin' Boogie" which was a major hit. In the late 60's he wrote "Echo Park" which was a hit for Keith Barbour.
