The song became a hit (UK #3) upon its 1975 re-release in tandem with their debut album.
The band released their first album, Fox, in early 1975. In 79, she tried again to start her solo career with a single, "The Heat Is On", later covered by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog. The band returned to the charts in 76 with "S-S-S-Single Bed" followed by the third album “Blue Hotel” in 77.
Noosha Fox left the band after “Blue Hotel”.
In 1974, Frank played on albums by Matthew Fisher (I’ll Be There), Claire Hamill (Stage Door Johnnies), and Gravy Train (Staircase to the Day).
Keyboardist Pete Solley cut two albums apiece with Paladin and Snafu.
The remaining members of Fox carried on as Yellow Dog, which issued two albums on Virgin in 1977/78 and a third on small-press Escape Records in 1981.
The latter features Australian vocalist Susan Traynor of the folk-rock band Wooden Horse. She adopted the stage name Noosha, a corruption of an anagram of her first name (nussa), and in performances wore dresses and accessories in 1920s and 1930s style. With Fox, Noosha achieved three top 20 hits on the UK Singles Chart: "Only You Can" and "Imagine Me, Imagine You" in 1975 and "S-S-S-Single Bed" in 1976.
The a-side was included on their third and final album Blue Hotel, released in 1977.
Fox was an English dream-pop band that released three albums on GTO between 1975 and 1977. A later version of the song, by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog, was a European hit four years later. In 1980, Fox provided guest vocals for the songs "Perfect Strangers" and "Havana Moon" on Tim Renwick's self-titled debut album.
She followed it with four further singles on Chrysalis, Metronome, and Earlobe between 1979 and 1981. After the departure of vocalist Noosha Fox, the band morphed into Yellow Dog for two further albums on Virgin during the late 1970s. The Fox nameplate was briefly resurrected for the 1980 single “Electro People” (b/w “If You Don’t Want My Peaches”), written as the theme to The Kenny Everett Video Show.
Solley cut a 1977 solo single (“Blue Angel”) and played on 1977/78 albums by Pat Travers (Makin’ Magic), Procol Harum (Something Magic), Al Stewart (Time Passages), David Coverdale, and Wreckless Eric.
Nosha sings lead on all the tracks. It was first issued as catalog number 2099 105 on the fledgling GTO label, the home of all ensuing Fox releases.
Drummer Jim Frank played on the soul-funk album Abyss by American singer Jimmy Thomas. Her first single was "Georgina Bailey" in 77. She left after their third album, 'Blue Hotel', to launch a solo career.
It features 11 Young originals, including the aforementioned a-side and “Red Letter Day,” “Spirit,” “Love Ship,” and “Imagine Me Imagine You.” The last of those was released as a single (UK #15) with the non-album b-side “If I Point at the Moon.” Two further tracks were paired on 7″: “He’s Got Magic” (b/w “The Juggler”).
