Can't Stop Myself from Loving You

"Can't Stop Myself From Loving You" was a song written by ex-Easybeats members Harry Vanda & George Young in 1974 and was recorded by Johnny Cave, aka stage act William Shakespeare.

It was Shakespeare's first hit in Australia, making the number 2 spot on the Australian charts.

In 1974, in the planning stages for the ABC TV Series Countdown, it was suggested that William Shakespeare host the show.

A number of guest hosts such as Shirley Strachan, John Paul Young and Daryl Braithwaite compèred the show in its early days on an ad hoc basis.

A cover version of "Can't Stop Myself From Loving You" by the Ottawa band Octavian reached number 65 on the Canadian charts in 1977.
