"January February" is a song by Scottish singer Barbara Dickson released on 25 January 1980 by Epic Records. It peaked at #11 on the UK Singles Chart the week ending 12 April 1980, spending 10 weeks on the chart. [1] It also made the Top 20 in the German and South African charts and 64 in Australia. [2]
The song signalled a new direction in her career, moving into the mainstream pop genre.[ citation needed] It was written and produced by Alan Tarney who had recently resurrected Cliff Richard's career with his 1979 no.1 hit " We Don't Talk Anymore". Guitar on the song was played by Issac Guillory who also appeared on the music video and helped promote the song on TV.
Mary Roos recorded a German version of the single entitled "Wenn Ich Dich Nicht Halten Kann" ("If I Cannot Hold You").
