Wikipedia article
"'Love on a Mountain Top'" is a 1968 song by singer Robert Knight. The song was written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, who also penned "Everlasting Love". However, it only charted regionally in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh area. Re-discovered by the UK's Northern soul scene, it got airplay by DJs in late 1973, causing a UK re-release of the record, where the song eventually entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 10 in January 1974.
Sinitta version
A cover version of "'Love on a Mountain Top'" by American-born pop singer Sinitta appeared in 1989, produced by Phil Harding and Ian Curnow. It was released as the third single from Sinitta's second album, 'Wicked' (1988). Her version of the song reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 81 in Australia on the ARIA chart.
Critical reception
Bill Coleman from 'Billboard' stated that "Hi-NRG/crossover diva is back with a predictable but nonetheless charming track from her new album."Formats and track listings
