Love Is All Around

Troggs lead singer Reg Presley wrote this in about 10 minutes. He was inspired by the Joy Strings Salvation Army band he'd seen on TV. The song is a gentle folk ballad and a far cry from The Troggs previous hit "Wild Thing."

Reg Presley's real name is Reginald Ball,he adopted the name of Presley in 1966 as a publicity stunt.

In 1994 this became a huge hit when Wet Wet Wet covered it for the movie Four Weddings And A Funeral. The band chose it over Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and Barry Manilow's "Can't Smile Without You" even though some of their members hadn't heard it before. Their version was UK #1 for 15 weeks and became the best selling single in the UK in 1994.
