BEFORE IT WAS A HIT XV Last Thing On My Mind. Continues tomorrow.
BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG
These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.
Last Thing On My Mind
 
When Bananarama released the original version of "Last Thing On My Mind" in 1992, the single flopped. The song was written by the duo with Mike Stock and Pete Waterman. Production was handled by the latter 2.
Waterman was again at the helm when Steps issued its cover 6 years later. Second time around, the song caught on. The group's 2nd single release became a Top 10 hit in the UK, parts of Europe and Australia.
Each new song will be added to the spotify playlist named: ‘Before It Was A Hit Song’.  You can check out the earlier / original versions of the hit songs you know and love.
