"It Only Happens When I Look At You" is a song written by British songwriters Ken Gold and Michael Denne
      and recorded first by Aretha Franklin on her 1975 album
      "You". 
It has become a sought after item by Jackie Wilson as
      it wasn't released on 45 in the US, only UK, Spain and Turkey. 
Australian
      singer Rene Geyer also did a live version (only?) with Doug
      Williams on a 1976 album "Really Really Love You". It was featured in the soundtrack for a 1999 New Zealand movie "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted".
  UK band (from Birmingham) Delegation recorded it 1976 on
        the B side to their debut single "The Promise Of Love".
  The Majors, who I think are from The Netherlands,  released it in 1976.
I've
    also found a few more recent versions, one from 1996 by a Japanese
    producer Little Big Bee (aka Eitetsu Takamiya),
    Aloha Feat. Pati from a 2010 album titled "Take Me Home" and
    finally a live studio version (which has probably not been released) by
    Aussies
    Tame & Lee recorded in
    2014.
  I also found some footage of  a very glamorous looking Aretha
      singing it live.
