All My Lovin' later became identified with Johnny Young after he used it as the closing song for his long-running TV series Young Talent Time (1971-1989).

Johnny Young: Western Australian singer, songwriter, radio announcer and TV compere, real name John De Jong.

Although his own hits (Step Back, Cara-Lyn, Kiss Me Now) were written by others, Johnny Young's main claim to pop fame internationally is for having written the Russell Morris classic The Real Thing. See also The Star, recorded by Ross D. Wylie and by Herman's Hermits.
