Mike Stock wrote in his 2004 book The Hit Factory:
"We often had to deal with the most extraordinary characters in our quest to deliver the goods. A good example was Carol Hitchcock, a singer who flitted past our window one day and flitted off again...What a bitch.
Carol was a striking woman: Australian, bald and a bit of a body builder. I felt she was a bit frightening, to be honest! Maybe that's why her record only just scraped into the Top 60 in Australia and the UK. The B-side of Carol's record was "More Than Words Can Say," a SAW composition that was later resurrected for a Mel & Kim track, but alas we couldn't resurrect Ms. Hitchcock's record career.
