Nottingham-based band Paper Lace were winners of a TV talent contest and, as a result, were offered this song by Mitch Murray (one of its co-writers). It was a #1 hit in the UK (1974) but was ignored by the Americans who preferred a version covered by a US band. Their follow-up, however, (The Night Chicago Died) made #1 in the USA and #3 in Britain.
