"Keep Each Other Warm" is a 1986 single by Bucks Fizz. The song peaked at No. 45 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1986.[1] It was the fifth and final single from their Writing on the Wall album, which was released at the same time. "Keep Each Other Warm" was co-written by Andy Hill and Pete Sinfield.
The B-side is a song called "Give a Little Love", originally by Albert Hammond and Albert West, which two years later became a top 20 hit by Aswad.[2]
Reception[edit]
Number One magazine stated: "Their best effort yet with the new line-up, but set beside the sheer genius of say 'The Land of Make Believe', it doesn't really cut the cake."[3] Smash Hits predicted "Bucks Fizz will find themselves back with a very welcome hit."[4]

Manilow's version was released as a single, reaching No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[5] Cash Box said of Manilow's version, produced by British producer Paul O'Duffy, that "the arrangement of this new toe-tapper is warm, loose and clean at the same time, one of the best things he’s ever done."[6]
