Top Of The Pops, May 1, 1980

"Leaving Here" is a song written in 1963 by Motown songwriters Holland–Dozier–Holland. Written at the beginning of the partnership, it is notable in several recordings. It was originally released as a single in December 1963 by H-D-H lyricist Eddie Holland.
English hard rock band Motörhead released their version of "Leaving Here" as their debut single in 1977. Despite it being their first single, only the band's founder Lemmy remained from the band's original line-up. The recording was inspired by The Birds' 1965 cover version of Eddie Holland's "Leaving Here". Lemmy was a great fan of the band.
