"A Touch of Paradise" is a song written by Ross Wilson, Gulliver Smith and Roger McLachlan. The song was originally recorded by Mondo Rock on their album Nuovo Mondo (1982). The song was covered by Australian singer John Farnham and American singer Kevin Paige. The song was released as the third single from his album Whispering Jack (1986). While many believe that no music video was ever made for this song, one rarely-seen video was made for its single release in late 1986.[2]
