The tune ----
"LOVE AND LONELINESS " by The Motors --- 1980
don't know anything more about this (disco) song other than I've always really liked it ... and couldn't believe it didn't break out somewhere .... never got radio play in the US . Too bad .
Anyone have more info about the group , The Motors and this song? Is there a long version ?? Did it do well elsewhere in the world ??

Don't know that one VS ....but it's one I'll scout for . I'll bet it's the same guys . The Motors vocals sound non-American....
"LOVE AND LONLINESSS" was released on Virgin . They must have had some high hopes for it .... the single was issued in a pricey cardboard sleeve. The album iself has a special cut ... it's an op art rendering of a stair case with two oppposite corners of the cover cut away.
Maybe this song was not a hit anywhere? That would really be shocking to me ......
