Singer Steve Ellis was just 16 when it topped the charts. He was one of the finest vocalists to emerge from the Sixties Mod scene – which is why Paul Weller has long cited him as an influence. London-born Ellis was 15 when he started his first band Soul Survivors in 1966 and they became Love Affair the following year. Their live set mostly consisted of covers of songs by soul legends such as David Ruffin and Eddie Floyd.
