Linda Lewis - Do You Believe In Love?

Reading about one of my favourite guitarists, John McLaughlin (The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, countless others and solo). Turns out he co-wrote a few POP* songs in the 60s. Here's a very nice soul one by Linda Lewis, 'Do You Believe In Love?', written with Ian Samwell.




The A-side, 'You Turned My Bitter Into Sweet', is very good too. The Discogs page for the single shows no copies for sale and no previous copies sold. I'd love to find one.



There's a new(-ish, 2014) book out about McLaughlin, 'Bathed In Lightning'. Looks great, very thorough. Same for the website there, lots of info. 


*I'm spelling POP in all caps these days, often with an exclamation point at the end. Deserves such, don't you think?
