Ellis were a fairly short lived band running from 1972 to circa 1974 and formed by Steve Ellis, previously vocalist for Love Affair who had several chart hits towards the end of the late 60s. The most notable being their No1 UK chart success Everlasting Love, quickly followed by a series of chart singles – A Day Without Love, Rainbow Valley and Bringing On Back The Good Times. Towards the end of 1969 Steve Ellis left Love Affair, tired of the heavy touring schedule and citing “personal differences”, although he remained signed to the CBS (Epic) record label.
