Strange Changes

"Strange Changes" is a song that was co-written by Lynsey de Paul and Sue Shifrin (Sue Shifrin Cassidy), former wife of David Cassidy.[1][2] It was released as a single in 1981 by de Paul on the MCA label.[3][4] A promo 12 inch single was also released.[5] The recording was co-produced by Jon Kelly and de Paul.[6][7] Writing on her website, de Paul revealed she wrote this song when she was living in the United States and wanted to come back home to the UK. "It meant leaving behind a life that had taken 5 years to build and a long term relationship with James Coburn. I literally felt that I was going through a strange change" she said.[8] De Paul performed the song on a number of TV programmes including the German TV series WWF Club,[9] and the UK TV programme Razzamatazz in 1981. The song is still popular and featured on "Beam Me Up" by Albion in 2015,[10] as well as being listed as the number 1 hit on the old skool chart at WahWah45 in November 2016.[11]
