From their album 'Forever Love' about 'Making Love'.
"This song came from Jim Steinman who also produced the track. A great performance from Russel again, and such a great song. We all knew it would fly up the charts and it did. It became a standard for generations to come and gave us our 3rd year dominating the airwaves and the charts in 1983.
This story has been told many times. We were putting together our Greatest Hits album and our manager at the time Don Arden, put us together with Jim Steinman. We met in New York to discuss the song. Jim was wearing elbow length leather gloves! The original version that we received from Jim was about 20 minutes long. I think we managed to whittle the song down to seven minutes."
