Roxette covers The Paris Sisters’ hit “I Love How You Love Me”
Written by tevensso on September 13, 2006 to Releases.
STOCKHOLM - One of the tracks included in the “The Rox Box,” the demo “Anyone/I Love How You Love Me,” is actually half a cover of The Paris Sisters’ hit “I Love How You Love Me.” The song, written by Barry Mann and Larry Kolber, was produced by Phil Spector and was a big hit in 1961, when it reached #5 on the Billboard charts on October 30.
The song has since then been covered by many artists such as Bryan Ferry, Ray Conniff and Chet Atkins.

I am assuming that the “Anyone” part of the song is the demo to the track that we all know as a single from Have a Nice Day. It’s interesting because the version of “I Love How You Love Me” has that old sound to it just like “Anyone.”
This should be an interesting listen.

I knew it was a cover the first time i heard it - there was an Australian band in the early 90s called the Teen Queens who did the song and I knew it was a cover of an old song back then

For those of you who know the kids band HI 5 - Kellie is in that band - Per does it soooo much better though LOL

It is the Demo, Havent you heard it before?

I’ve heard the demo, but I am wondering if it is any different than the demo version of “Anyone” that we’ve heard before.
I’m also interested how the two songs will mesh in this version...

Shannyn, i always thought she looked familiar. Now i know.
Now i’m even more curious about this demo.

Do Roxette really have to do a cover to include it on their RoxBox?
I always thought they have enough inspiration and talent to write their own songs...

This is so interesting... I’m curious about this demo too...

Doing covers has nothing to do with lack of talent or inspiration. most of the time

I knew the title sounded familiar... I thought there was an artist that died in a plane crash some time ago had a song with this title too?!

Yes, Melanie Thornton, the former female part of the duo La Bouche was quite successful with I Love
How You Love Me.
She had such a wonderful voice.
Starrox said on September 14, 2006 12:32:
Melanie Thornton’s song had a similar title (Love how you love me), but different lyrics, so it’s not a cover of ILHYLM.

Didn´t know it was a different song. I can´t say if I know the Paris Sisters´ song or one of the covers.

wonderful balloon: Making covers has got nothing to do with talent, or the lack of it.
And you DO realise that Marie’s latest album was just covers?
