Vincent Edwards which was first recorded in the middle of 1975 by Maxine Nightingale for whom it was an international hit . In 1989, a remake by Sinitta, then 25, reached #4 in the UK Singles Chart . The music features a significant repetitive sample from the song' Goodbye, Nothing To Say' written by Stephen Jameson and Marshall Doctores, recorded by Jameson under the name of Nosmo King, then by The' Javells ft Nosmo King', both in 1974 . </P> <P> In a 3 May 2008 interview with Michael Shelley of WFMU, Edwards recalled that after hearing Maxine Nightingale sing on the session for Al Matthews' "Fool" that track's producer Pierre Tubbs had come up with "Right Back Where We Started From" as a good title for a song for Nightingale herself to record and had invited Edwards to co-write the song . Utilizing a tune which Edwards had written "a couple of years before", Tubbs and Edwards wrote "Right Back Where We Started From" in about seven minutes while driving to Charing Cross Hospital where Tubbs' wife Gabrielle (née Zimmerman) was set to give birth to Tubbs' daughter Nadine: the song heavily reflects Edwards' admiration for the Motown songwriting team of Holland--Dozier--Holland . A rough demo featuring Edwards' vocal was cut the next day and it was Edwards - who had performed with Nightingale in the West End production of Hair - who approached Nightingale with an offer for her to record the song . </P>
