‘Always something there to remind me’ was written by superstar Burt Bacharach and Hal David for a bloke called Lou Johnson.
Many talented artists had a crack at this one. Throughout the 60’s and 70’s the song lingered on the B list until synthpop outfit Naked Eyes made the top 10, with Bacharach himself naming this version as his personal favorite.
Naked Eyes were off to a flying start, but their subsequent hit "Promises, Promises" was also their last. Singer Pete Byrne ended up doing session work for Stevie Wonder, just to pay the bills, and even wrote "I’m the Cute One" for the Olsen Twins. Grim.
