BEAUTIFUL song, so nostalgic!! I remember when this came out, while she was touring South Africa 1982/3, especially singing for the "troepies" in South West Africa at the time. Originally this was a song composed by Phil Cordell in 1971 which he recorded under the name Springwater; then German singer Michael Holm had a hit with it twice in South Africa (in 1972 and in 1976) (the song was titled "I'll Return"); after that Italian songwriters wrote new lyrics in Italian and Geraldine's husband Phil Coulter and his writing partner Bill Martin re-wrote new lyrics for it from the Italian, hence "Take Me Back" and "I'll Return" have different lyrics but the same melody.
"I Will Return" by Springwater (written by Phil Cordell) is a different song to "I'll Return" written by Ignazio Polizzy, Claudio Natili, Marcello Ramoino, Michael Holm & Tony Eyers and was recorded by German Michael Holm (produced by Giorgio Moroder). Holm also did a version of "I Will Return", and they both charted in South Africa as you say, but they were different songs. The Geraldine song took the tune of I'll Return, with English lyrics as you say by Bill Martin and hubby Phil Coulter for her song take me back
Wow - I heard this song this morning again 2 / 02 / 2020 and became so heartsore with Nostalgia as it was my mother's Favourite song back then.....So many memories just came up from my youth days.
Wow, what beautiful memories. I discovered this song during my 3-week holiday in South Africa. It was playing on all the radio stations. A good South African friend I met then gave me Geraldine's single in Johannesburg the night before we said goodbye. It's something I'll never forget. Thank you Jon for such a beautiful memory.
ek verlang terug na die ou Suid-Afrika as ek hierdie musiek hoor. take me back ... na 'n era van veiligheid vir almal. dit sal weer kom. wat was sal weer wees
@@tersiavandamme3475 dit gaan kom glo my. Dit gaan. Sedert daardie post het alles in hierdie land 100 voudig versleg. Daar moet n keer punt kom. Dis onvermydelik. Hou moed. Glo in God. Hou vas in jou geloof🙏
Jys gesyp wtf boet. Ek was n policeman in 1986 toe die Magoos Bar bom in Durban afgegaan het en o.a 2 jong onskuldige meisies uitmekaar geblaas is. Daar was absoluut NIKS veiling in die ou SA nie, ons was in n burger oorlog. Jys n sot man, die belaglike stellings wat jy maak is absurd rerig!!!!!!😱😱😱
Brings back golden memories as a child.. Grew up listening to this song and it just keeps getting better every year.. So much memories... Brings a tear to my eye
I want to thankyas all when I wrote this song ..I lost my mom .I grew up on a farm in alberta Goodridge .missed my upbringing and the lv I miss ..thankyas all all .grateful ..thankyas all
I saw Geraldine in 1982 when I was doing my 2 years’ National Service. I still get goosebumps and extremely nostalgic whenever I listen to the songs which were popular those 2 years.
Beautiful love I once knew but now behind me and all I have is beautiful memories... I won't cry take me back..still love the song and love the memories
I have had this song in my head for years but until now I have not been able to find it. I had it on an old tape I lost back in the early nineteens. I had parts of the lyrics in my head and today I succeeded.
Fantastic, I knew this band and spent many summers in Ireland with them. I am so happy to see you have some songs. Do you have any of the band singing. Donal was a fantastic singer as well. Many thanks
Time for me to ask my question again... Anyone know where I can get her version of Wild Thing / Hang on Sloopy ? I used to have it on a Pop Shop (possibly Pop Shop Gold or Pop Shop Spectacular) but not sure if it is on any of her albums ?
Minnaar stasie ek verlang terug na Lynette en Andre Nortje, Tinus en Santie, die Visagies (Hester) en Yolandi Vermeulen en natuurlik Eileen Ellisson en my ma wat toe nog geleef het!! Die tyd is verby!! Sal enige van hulle ooit hierdie stuk lees?? Dink nie so nie - Hackey Louw

I've asked this a few years ago and someone was going to put these songs up, but no luck yet. Anyone out there who can help? Can anyone tell me where I can get the songs on this album of hers? Especially the song "I'm a woman" and "let me down easy" I've looked everywhere on the web and just can't find it. Please help me.

Lost my father 19 december, my mom and I and sister broke down in tears for this beautiful song.... Hurts so much. Will see him again in Jesuss eyes❤
Lost my father in May, and he always loved this song, now I understand why.
My grandfather always used to listen to this song when I visited him. RIP grandad
This must be the most sentimental song of all ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for confirming my "suspicions" :-)
We saw her in concert in Bloemfontein when she was her in 82/83 loved her.
There was also a very successful version in Spanish by Diego Verdaguer called "Volvere", which was released in 1976.
I recall it was the Irish entry for Pop Over Europe on Radio 2 in 1982

My cousin and I toured through SA with Geraldine and her band and Liberty Mountain in 1982.
I saw Geraldine in 1982 when I was doing my 2 years’ National Service. I still get goosebumps and extremely nostalgic whenever I listen to the songs which were popular those 2 years.
Why would y'all do that knowing about the political situation of the time?
Saw her at a lifeshow together with Joe Dolan in Bloemfontein during the 80's, happy memories. Anita Jackson, Bloemfontein
Jy is baie gelukkig.
I STILL HAVE THIS LP LAYING AROUND SOMEWHERE, SO BEAUTIFUL, I STILL REMEMBER.
So many memories, of times gone by, youth and dreams! Even with Covid who left so many with shattered hearts and broken lives.
One of my all time favorites. This was a special song for me and my lady. Also my late brother's favorite
Simply love that wonderfull song that brings me good memories of the eighties

My favourite version of the 1970s Italian hit song "Tornero". New arrangement with English lyrics and beautiful singer.
Listening in 2018....love this song...
Words that echo now more than ever... Take me back.. To a time....
Sitting under camo-nets inside a Ratel 90 with a tinny radio playing this song back in the 80's. Life seemed simpler...

Mooie compositie... waarmee iedere zanger(es) kan scoren...
