Love on a Mountain Top

"Love on a Mountain Top" is a 1968 song[2] by singer Robert Knight. The song was written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, who also penned its predecessor, "Everlasting Love". However, it only charted regionally in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh area. Re-discovered by the UK's Northern soul scene, it got airplay by DJs in late 1973, causing a UK re-release of the record, which eventually entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 10 in January 1974.[3]

gollark: TuriExtended probably cannot be implemented.
gollark: Wait, TuriExtended is unimplementable because it has a *will this program halt* instruction.
gollark: Although you could implement it on Turing oracles.
gollark: TuriExtended, yes.
