(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice
- (If Paradise Is) Half as Nice
(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice is a popular single by Amen Corner.
Originally written by famous Italian singer/songwriter Lucio Battisti for Patty Pravo as "Il Paradiso" (The Paradise), it was translated into English by Jack Fishman. When it was offered to the Tremeloes as a potential single, they rejected it and it was recorded by the group Amen Corner as their debut single for their new record label Immediate Records and produced by Shel Talmy. The most successful of the band's six hit singles, it reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in February 1969, and number 34 when it was reissued in 1976.
In 1987, Bucks Fizz member Cheryl Baker recorded the song and released it as a solo single. The song reached the lower part of the UK top 100.
