DR. HOOK: Cover to Cover

“When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" is a popular single by Dr. Hook. It was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Alabama.

It was written by Even Stevens, who followed producer Ron Haffkine into the studio washroom to pitch him the song. “When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman” first appeared on the band's 1978 album Pleasure and Pain.

Riding the disco wave in 1979, it belatedly became an international hit, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the USA and doing even better in the UK where it spent three weeks at #1 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1979. The song was subsequently added to the band's 1979 album Sometimes You Win, the CD version.

Conway Twitty (born Harold Lloyd Jenkins; September 1, 1933 – June 5, 1993) was an American country music singer. He also had success in the rock and roll, rock, R&B, and pop genres.

From 1971 to 1976, Twitty received a string of Country Music Association awards for duets with Loretta Lynn. Although never a member of the Grand Ole Opry, he was inducted into both the Country Music and Rockabilly Halls of Fame.

Conway covered “When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" in 1990 on his album, Crazy in Love.
