"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.
