"'No One Can Hold a Candle to You' was originally written and sung by James Maker, and we've been good friends now for 30 years. He released 'Born that Way' a couple of years back and that's one of my favorite recordings of all time."
-Morrissey, in a Q&A session on True To You in June 2007
The original can be found on the album Babelogue by Raymonde - the band of which James Maker was a former member.
