Hard Candy is the second solo album by Ned Doheny. It features his version of "Love of Your Own" (written with Hamish Stuart) which was also recorded with Stuart's Average White Band the same year.[1] The album also includes Doheny's version of his own song “Get It Up for Love” which was originally recorded in 1975 by David Cassidy on his RCA album The Higher They Climb and released by Cassidy as a single. The song was subsequently covered by Maxine Nightingale on her 1977 album Night Life and in 1979 by Táta Vega. Her version was a Top 20 dance single.[2]
