"Love on a Mountain Top" is a 1968 song[2] by singer Robert Knight. The song was written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, who also penned its predecessor, "Everlasting Love". However, it only charted regionally in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh area. Re-discovered by the UK's Northern soul scene, it got airplay by DJs in late 1973, causing a UK re-release of the record, which eventually entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 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 number 20 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] and number 81 in Australia on the ARIA chart.[5]
