It was through a mutual friend - singer Lee Vanderbilt - that Charles met record producer Biddu who encouraged her to record `` I Love to Love... '' utilizing Manchester musicians Richie Close ( keyboard ), Clive Allen ( guitar ), Des Browne ( bass ) and Tom Daley ( percussion ) to create a signature hit sound for Charles. Reaching # 1 on the UK Singles Chart in March 1976 and topping the chart for three weeks, `` I Love to Love... '' was followed by seven more chart records for Charles ; only her Top Ten entries `` Dance Little Lady Dance '' and `` Doctor Love '' reached the Top 20. `` I Love to Love... '' afforded Charles an international hit, reaching # 1 in Ireland, # 2 in France, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden while in Austria, Germany and Spain the single peaked at respectively # 20, # 6 and # 3. The track was also a hit in Australia ( # 6 ) and New Zealand ( # 7 ). In Canada `` I Love to Love... '' won the Juno for bestselling international single for the year 1976 having sold over 200,000 copies in the province of Quebec : due to receiving virtually no radio airplay in the rest of Canada `` I Love to Love '' rose no higher than # 17 on the national chart. The track reached # 2 on the U.S. Disco Singles Chart. River, the British television series, used this song at the start of the first episode and at the end of the last episode.
