When I'm with You (Steve Harley song)

"When I'm with You" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Steve Harley, released by Vital Vinyl as a non-album single on 1 June 1989.

[1][2][3] It was written and produced by Harley, ex-Cockney Rebel guitarist Jim Cregan and drummer Stuart Elliott.

At the beginning of 1989, before the tour, Harley returned to the studio and recorded six tracks with Jim Cregan, Duncan Mackay and Stuart Elliott, all of whom were in the most successful reincarnation of Cockney Rebel from 1974-1977.

To coincide with the main 64-date part of the tour, which commenced in June 1989, Harley released "When I'm with You" as a non-album single to promote the live shows.

[3] The film, based on the true story of John 'Babbacombe' Lee, who survived three attempts to hang him in Victorian times, was due to feature Harley as the leading character, but those involved with the project were never able to secure funding.

[9] Harley told Replay in 1993, "I don't think it will ever happen, even though it looked as though it could have been a monster hit on a small budget, but that's the British film industry for you.
