The most notable being their No1 UK chart success Everlasting Love, quickly followed by a series of chart singles – A Day Without Love, Rainbow Valley and Bringing On Back The Good Times. Towards the end of 1969 Steve Ellis left Love Affair, tired of the heavy touring schedule and citing “personal differences”, although he remained signed to the CBS (Epic) record label
