"'In Thoughts of You'" is a song by English singer Billy Fury released as a single in June 1965. It peaked at number 9 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Fury's final top-ten single.

Release and reception



"In Thoughts of You" was written by Geoff Morrow and Chris Arnold and was their first chart success. The two would write another hit for Fury with David Martin, "I'll Never Quite Get Over You". The B-side, "Away from You", was written by David Wilcox, David Elias and Keith Draper, who were members of the Liverpool beat group the Nocturns. Fury's manager Larry Parnes had bought some of the songs written by the three Nocturns members for "a small fee with a royalty clause built in" and one of the songs was decided to be the subsequent A-side single to "In Thoughts of You". However, Parnes and the three Norturns had a disagreement and the former pulled the plug on Fury recording any more of their songs after "Away from You".

Reviewing for 'New Musical Express', Derek Johnson wrote that there is a "symphonic opening with a concerto-type piano" and that "it quickly breaks into a mid-tempo ballad with muted brass and Knute guitar work. Mike Leander's colourful pulse-quickening scoring embellishes the descriptive lyric, of the kind Billy handles so well".
