In 1992, a cover version by English pop singer <a href="/wiki/Marc_Almond" title="Marc Almond">Marc Almond</a> reached number four on the <a href="/wiki/UK_Singles_Chart" class="mw-redirect" title="UK Singles Chart">UK Singles Chart</a> and number eight in Ireland. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Days_of_Pearly_Spencer&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Having his first single, "God and My Country", flop, McWilliams entered a <a href="/wiki/Belfast" title="Belfast">Belfast</a> recording studio to record some demos. Around that time, Mervyn Solomon overheard his tapes, and was impressed enough to telephone his brother <a href="/wiki/Phil_Solomon_(music_executive)" title="Phil Solomon (music executive)">Phil Solomon</a>. Because McWilliams was already signed to <a href="/wiki/CBS_Records_International" title="CBS Records International">CBS</a>, who manufactured <a href="/wiki/Major_Minor_Records" title="Major Minor Records">Major Minor</a>'s recordings, Phil Solomon offered to take McWilliams off their hands.
