The follow-up single "Just One More Kiss" peaked at #48. Their third single, "Jesus Loves Us All", failed to reach the UK Singles Chart.
West Midlands-resident Italian-born Renato Pagliari (born 28 June 1940, died 29 July 2009) auditioned for ITV's talent show New Faces in 1975, catching the attention of songwriter, Johnny Edward, who had written "Save Your Love". He was teamed by Edward with British singer Hilary Lester and the duo was renamed as Renée and Renato. They recorded the song, "Save Your Love", which became the 1982 Christmas number one. By that stage Gibbon had already joined another group, and the contractually enforced follow-ups, "Just One More Kiss" and "Jesus Loves Us All", flopped.
Gibbon returned to private life after the fame died down, but Renato still sang, mainly on cruise ships and occasionally at his son's restaurant, Renato's, in Tamworth, Staffordshire. His later credits included a guest spot on the TV comedy show Little and Large. He is also rumoured to have been the singer for the Wall's ice cream jingle "Just One Cornetto" (although this is claimed not to be the case by Pagliari's son, Remo). He also issued several albums.
Renato was a fan of Aston Villa F.C. and during the early 1990s was asked by manager Ron Atkinson to sing "Nessun dorma" at half time following a particularly poor first half performance by the team. On completion of his performance Atkinson told the players "Now that is passion! Go and show me some of that in the second half"! When Atkinson appeared on the TV show Room 101, Atkinson claimed that only Luciano Pavarotti could sing "Nessun Dorma" better than Renato.

Always loved this, made me cry with laughter when I was 13 and still does lol
@markanthonycoliinson873
Same here. Renee's vocal work actually achieves madness around 140.
@EllisDeeful
I want this played at my funeral
@phunkphil9913
I've still got my 45, it's B side of Just One More Kiss
@hirdy6
@InteUtanMinCykel It was the B side of 'One More Kiss' or 'Save Your Love', I cant remember which one but it was indeed released as it is here.
@lizprice4737
beautiful
@HasseBasseBingBong
@hirdy6 It must have been some kind of mistake from the record company. This can't be the way the song was intended to be. First time I heard it I laughed until I cried!
@hirdy6
To be fair, you've got to hang in there until about the 1:40 mark and then... it's wet trousers.
@EllisDeeful
Aaaaaggghhh!
@hirdy6
@InteUtanMinCykel So did I mate, it can happen to anyone but it's not usually released. Perhaps because it was a B side they did so as a joke.
