Wikipedia article




'"A Love Worth Waiting For"' is a song by Welsh singer Shakin' Stevens, released in March 1984 as the fourth single from his album 'The' 'Bop Won't Stop'. It peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks and was certified silver in the UK by the BPI.

Reception



Reviewing the song for 'Record Mirror', Culture Club's Roy Hay wrote that "the production sounds quite good, and the pizzicato strings are fun, but after the last one with Bonnie and the strings on that, what is Shaky doing, we ask ourselves? I'm not very impressed, I wouldn't have though this was Top 10 it's too soft for him". Peter Martin for 'Smash Hits' wrote that the song "sounds like it's about '30' years old. A flimsy song all about everlasting love with plucked strings and warbly vocals a-go-go. A real sickener.
