"That Ole Devil Called Love" was originally released by Billie Holiday way back in the 1940s. This superbly performed, smoochy cover was Alison Moyet's fourth single release as a solo artist, and reached #2 in the UK during March 1985.
With Moyet having the perfect voice for such a jazzy number, the song was released as a non-album single and became an instant hit. It followed three Top 40 hit singles released from the singer-songwriter's debut album Alf. These were; "Love Resurrection" (#10), "All Cried Out" (#8) and "Invisible" (#21).
