“Young Hearts Run Free” is a disco song written by David Crawford and originally recorded by American soul singer Candi Staton in 1976.

“Young Hearts Run Free” was written by its producer David Crawford. According to Staton, the song’s genesis was a conversation she had with Crawford over lunch in Los Angeles: Staton – “Dave Crawford was always asking me: ‘What’s happening in your life’…and I was [then] with someone I shouldn’t have been with and it was hard getting out of that…very abusive relationship”…”I [noticed] that [Crawford] was taking notes, and he said, ‘You know, I’m gonna write you a song. I’m gonna write you a song that’s gonna last forever.'”

Released in 1976 from the album of the same title, it spent a week at number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart. It also peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Along with the tracks “Run to Me” and “Destiny”, “Young Hearts Run Free” went to number eight on the dance/disco charts. “Young Hearts Run Free” was one of only two songs by Staton to reach the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, it peaked at number two behind The Real Thing’s “You to Me Are Everything”.

In 1986 the song was remixed by John Morales and Sergio Munzibai (M&M). The reissue peaked at number fourty seven on the UK singles chart.

Rick Astley – Take Me To Your Heart (The Dick Dastardly Mix) (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

“Take Me To Your Heart” is a 1988 song recorded by Rick Astley. Written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, the song was released the same year as the second single from the album, Hold Me in Your Arms. It was a success on the UK Singles Chart where it peaked at number 8 and charted for eleven weeks. It was also a top 10 hit in Denmark, Germany, Ireland, and Spain. Unlike most of Astley’s previous singles, it was never released in the U.S.

A controversy raised around “Big Fun”, the hit single recorded by American band Inner City, as the song was very similar to “Take Me to Your Heart” at the music level. Stock Aitken Waterman said the band had stolen the music of the song for “Big Fun” and therefore re-used it in “The Dick Dastardly Mix”.
