Fleetwood Mac's "Say You Love Me" performed considerably worse in Canada compared to the other singles from the White Album ("Over My Head: peak position of #9; "Rhiannon": peak position of #4; "Say You Love Me": peak position of #29). It's pretty likely that the moderate chart success of Eikhard's version (peaked at #34) tempered the chart run of Fleetwood Mac's original. |
Wow. Wait. Say You Love Me was covered and released by another artist before Fleetwood Mac? How did that happen?
Anyway here it is. Not too shabby.
