Deep dive stuff.
A demo of what's love got to do with it? recorded by Bucks Fizz.
The song was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, who originally offered it to Cliff Richard, but it was rejected.[5] Some months before Turner recorded the song, the British pop group Bucks Fizz were offered it. Member Jay Aston asked to sing lead on the track after hearing the demo, but was told by the producer that it was unsuitable for a female lead vocal. The group went on to record it in February 1984, but sung by male member Bobby G.

I knew it was a cover but never heard the original
Frankie Valli & the four seasons - Bye bye baby (1965)
10 years later it would become a massive hit for the Bay city rollers.

Laura Brannigan also recorded another song co written by Michael Bolton, how am I supposed to live without you in 1983. Bolton recorded his own version in 1989 & was a massive hit.
I won't post it.....for the greater good.
