"Love On a Mountain Top" is a 1968 song[2] by singer Robert Knight. The song was written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, like its predecessor, his 1967/1968 smash hit Everlasting Love. It however only charted regionally in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh area. Re-discovered by the UK's Northern soul scene it got heavy rotation by deejays in late 1973, causing a UK re-release of the record, which eventually entered the UK Singles Charts and peaked at #10 in January, 1974.[3]
A cover version by 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). Sinitta's version of the song reached #20 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] and #81 in Australia on the ARIA chart.[5]
