It was composed by Reg Persley and first performed by The Troggs. It was released as single in October 1967 (UK), and reached the top 10 in the U.S. singles chart, peaking at #7, in 1968. It also reached #5 in the UK charts.
The Troggs were an English rock band of the 1960s that had a number of hits in Britain and America, including their most famous song, "Wild Thing". The Troggs were from the town of Andover in southern England. The band were originally called The Troglodytes.
Wet Wet Wet's version of "Love Is All Around" was released on 9 May 1994. It topped the UK singles chart after two weeks and, probably thanks to its appearance in the film "Four Weddings and a Funeral", remained there for fifteen consecutive weeks.
