I only recently learned that a Canadian singer named Kelita Haverland covered "Could it Be Love" on her self-titled album "Kelita" released by the Boot label in Canada in 1983. Boot records also released it on a 45 single that same year. I'm trying to locate a copy of that album and/or single to hear how it sounds. <br /><br />I interviewed Cristina Raines for my blog in June 2014. You might enjoy reading her memories of Flamingo Road in that interview. Here's the link: <br /><br />http://hillplace.blogspot.com/2014/06/since-youve-gone-cristina-raines-interview.html Hill Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557647078598242244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675393718702467550.post-39477560001446453182016-07-17T10:27:04.230-07:002016-07-17T10:27:04.230-07:00Thank you very much for this detailed and well res...Thank you very much for this detailed and well researched article. You definitely weren't alone; I was also quite fond of the song back in the day when I first saw Flamingo Road. It was released a few years later than in my native country, Germany, than in the US, and over here all american TV Shows are dubbed, with the entire dialogue being replaced by german voice actors. <br /><br />Musical elements like Lane's songs, though, are left untouched in the process, so it was only in those short sequences than I could hear Ms. Raines' real voice.<br /><br />As it was the mid 80ies and I was in my early teens I had no means to resarch any information about the song or record it from the TV. I recall trying to use a music program on my C64 computer to recreate at least the melody of refrain, but having to do so by memory alone, it didn't work out that well. <br /><br />I've been watching Flamingo Road again on dailymotion over the past weeks, and found your blog when I tried googling the song. Thank you for all the Background infromation and how nice of Ms. Dunn to send you the lyrics.

I cannot believe that it has not been remade a dozen times, with about three or four being hits. This is a very thorough, well-considered, thoughtful article. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
