"A Lover's Holiday" was a 1980 crossover dance/soul single by Change, from the album, "The Glow Of Love". "A Lover's Holiday", along with the album's title track and "Searching" were very successful on the dance charts, spending nine weeks at #1. The three tracks were the most successful dance chart entries for 1980. "A Lover's Holiday" was also a hit on the soul singles chart peaking at #5, and peaking at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100. Change was an Italian-American post-disco group formed in Bologna, Italy in 1979, heavily influenced by legendary disco band Chic. Change was initially formed as a studio-band with a revolving cast of musicians, led by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus, with the majority of song-writing and production carried out by Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani. The band's dual Italian and American identity was a result of a production system, in which the music, excepting the vocals, was written and recorded by Italian collaborators in studios such as Fontoprint Studios, Bologna, Italy. The backing tracks were then taken to the U.S. where vocals were added by American performers, before being mixed into finalized versions in major studios such as the Power Station in New York City. The band's debut album, "The Glow Of Love", was released in 1980. It was composed by a small team of writers made up of Romani, Malavasi, Tanyayette Willoughby, Paul Slade and Wayne Garfield. The first single was the million seller "A Lover's Holiday" featuring the ad lib stylings of Zachary Sanders, known then for his work on ABC's "Schoolhouse Rock".
