Limahl – Only For Love (12″ Mix When She Moves In Close) (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1983

“Only for Love” is the debut solo single by former Kajagoogoo singer Limahl, following being fired from the group by his bandmates in 1983. Limahl’s 1984 debut solo album, Don’t Suppose, included the song. The song became his first UK top 20 hit, peaking at No. 16 on the UK Singles Chart. It remains his second most popular single in the UK as a solo act (the first being “The Neverending Story”).

Limahl performed the song with Beth Anderson on the TV show American Bandstand on March 9, 1985.

The song also played a part in the singer meeting producer Giorgio Moroder, while he was performing the song at a rock festival in Tokyo the following year. Moroder would help Limahl reach greater international success later in his career.

+There were two music videos shot for the song one for the USA market and another for the international market.
