Mick Jackson of 1960's pop sensations Love Affair releases his new track Christmas Dreams

MICK JACKSON (LOVE AFFAIR) NEW SINGLE: CHRISTMAS DREAMS

Mick Jackson was a member of 1960s pop sensations Love Affair. He became a global superstar when, in 1968, he was part of the group which became the youngest to have a UK Number 1 record.

Everlasting Love by Love Affair sent The Beatles’ Number I Hello Goodbye tumbling down the charts.

It is featured in Kenneth Branagh’s new film Belfast, starring Jamie Dornan and Dame Judi Dench, and to date over 13 million copies have been bought around the world.

Now Mick has gone back to the studio with the Mick Jackson Band to write and record a song celebrating 50 years of his own Everlasting Love.

The new song, Christmas Dreams is a tribute to his wife Patricia, who was his childhood sweetheart before fame hit and secretly became engaged to the bass player of the band hailed as Britain’s top group.

Mick plays bass guitar and sings on the new track, which also features original Love Affair band member Mo Bacon on drums. Mick commented: "From the moment that Patricia and I met all those years ago, I knew we were meant to be together."

"I’ve written many songs over the years about lots of different things, but I realised that the one thing that meant more to me than anything else was my own Everlasting Love, Patricia, so I wanted to write a love song to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary, tell her how I feel and to thank her for all the good times."
