This one is from my TRUEMC colleague Derf. He told me a couple months ago that the composer of "Very Special Love" by Maureen McGovern has his own version of the song. The composer is Michael Lloyd who is a member of the trio Cotton, Lloyd and Christian of the song "I Don't Know Why You Love Me". Thanks to you Derf.

About Michael Llloyd:
Michael Lloyd was in an American pop group called “West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band”, for Michael Lloyd it was only the beginning of an extraordinarily successful musical career which has, to date, netted him over one hundred gold and platinum records. After becoming the Vice President of A & R at MGM records, aged 20, in the fall of 1969, Michael achieved his first major hit producing Lou Rawls' single 'A Natural Man', winning himself a Grammy in the process. After forming his own band Friends, along with two Australians Darryl Cotton (ex-Zoot and Oz rock band) and Steve Kipner (ex-Tin Tin), Michael recorded an LP in 1973 only to see it pulled by MGM when he and Mike Curb left the label. As 'Friends', they produced a few singles including 'Gonna Have A Good Time' and 'Would You Laugh?' The album was considered to be soft pop rock, and had a lot going on for it as far as production, vocals, and instruments. Unperturbed he went on to record two further albums under the guise of Cotton, Lloyd and Christian. However, he soon discovered that his strength lay in producing and composing for others, most notably those toothsome Mormon siblings the Osmonds (including their 'experimental' 'Crazy Horses' period and Donny's solo career), as well as other teen heart-throbs like Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett. His greatest achievement in commercial terms came with the 1987 film 'Dirty Dancing', for which he acted as musical supervisor as well as producing and co-writing much of the music.
In March 1980, Jon Stevens teamed up with very good friend Sharon O'Neill and they recorded a duet called "Don't Let Love Go". The duet reached number 5 on the National Charts in New Zealand.
"Don't Let Love Go" by Sharon O'Neill and Jon Stevens was taken from Jon Stevens' Jezebel LP released by CBS and was composed by Brian and Brenda Russell.The song was also released as a single:
45rpm Single: Don't Let Love Go / Wages Of Love(Jon's solo)
