Can't Stop Myself from Loving You
1974 single by William Shakespeare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Can't Stop Myself From Loving You" was a song written by ex-Easybeats members Harry Vanda & George Young in 1974. Vanda and Young finished the backing track for the song and cast around for a singer, choosing local performer Johnny Cave, to record and release the track under the name William Shakespeare. It was Shakespeare's first hit in Australia, making the number 2 spot on the Australian charts. The song was largely aimed at the teenybopper market.
