The Zagreb 1960s band Bijele strijele recorded a song called Prilika za ljubav, which according to the various sources is supposed to be a cover of a Bo Diddley song called Take a Chance on Love. But I cannot find this work!

Anyone an idea: [[|Prilika za ljubav on YouTube]]?

Did some digging and found it. It's actually a cover of a song recorded by Gene McDaniels. The label for the cover incorrectly credits him as the writer, and apparently whoever entered the release on Discogs made the assumption that it was written by Bo Diddley.

Thanks a lot, Michael, and it turned out that the single on which Come On Take a Chance was recorded was already on site! Easy for me!

The alternative title is: Take a Chance on Love, which is shown on some samples of the McDaniels releases.

And now also the Croatian cover is on site: Prilika za ljubav

Thanks for your efforts!
