Guest ritchie Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Hmmm...........Tony Blackburn (aka Lenny Gamble) trying to sing 'I'll Do Anything'? Adrienne Poster - something beautiful .....HORRID
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Adrienne Poster - something beautiful .....HORRID To be fair to Adrienne, she was covering Connie Stevens version - which has the same light pop arrangement, and which is virtually identical to Adrienne's - not Margaret Mandolph's. I doubt that she ever heard the latter version... I'd like to agree with Pete, but I find all versions of "Stay With Me Baby" to be utterly ghastly, even Lorraine Ellison's. Therefore I must cite one that may be equalled in terms of awfulness but it's never likely to be beaten... Janis Jopin - Piece Of My Heart. I get a headache even thinking about it...

Godzilla Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I have thought for many years that this is the worst cover I've ever heard. I used to have this in my box at Wigan as a joke. Had written on the cover something like "Here it is folks - the worst cover of a Motown record you will hear. Even if you live to be 100!" Having just heard it again I'm amazed at just how intuitive I was a such a tender young age... Tim 'Rocky Horror" Curry does 'Baby Love'.
Godzilla Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Think it all sounds a bit Johnny 'Bristolish' to me....

Godz, that is a truly goddamned awful record and you should be arrested for posting it Edited August 25, 2009 by chorleysoul
Philippe Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Than Duffy attempting to sing "Stay With Me Baby"? I mean, it is like me attempting to sing like Pavarotti. I agree. I had the misfortune to see her last month at the Cognac blues (?) festival and when she said a few words (in French) I thought DAFFY would be more appropriate. Edited August 25, 2009 by Philippe
Godzilla Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Godz, that is a truly goddamned awful record and you should be arrested for posting it Obviously I never managed to sell it so I still have it somewhere. Any offers?* * As it seems to be the fashion, of course I'll ensure your bid is kept anonymous Mr Chorley
Pete S Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Let's not forget Mrs Mills(?) version of Lovers Concerto...on second thoughts, yes do forget it Mrs Miller. Great record. I have a UK Capitol original for sale with a great version of Downtown on side 2

Paul-s Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Duffy is a f--king awful singer! But the flying pickets covering most of the Wigan back catalogue for Russ & Micks Wigan Live play at Bolton, has to be a contender!!

Gene-r Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 i THINK ITS - THE TWO FELLOWS ON LIBERTY SINGING THEIR VERSION OF "An uphill climb to the bottom" Absolute Sh*te Was actually a duet called Two People. Wonder if they're the same two people who did "Stop Leave My Heart Alone"?
Guest Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 These two Two People - the two of us - Liberty audition -
Ernie Andrews Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Was actually a duet called Two People. Wonder if they're the same two people who did "Stop Leave My Heart Alone"? Thanks Gene for correcting me- wasnt sure which of the 2 it was! - Still utter Sh*te though

My life suddenly feels a whole lot better, just knowing I have never heard this. ;-) Simply Dreadful - Money's too tight to mention, was not great.

Guest Gary Thomas Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Yazz - The only way is up. No.1 for 5 painful weeks. Hopefully it didn't get Otis Clay wondering where he went wrong. At least George Jackson earned a few quid though.
Pete S Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 That's great! I think I've heard it before - did you post it on here a few years ago? No, in fact I don't think I even heard it til about 2 weeks ago; I found a blog with about 50 girl group compilations to download so I downloaded the lot and am now wading through around 2000 female artist tracks!
purist Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks Gene for correcting me- wasnt sure which of the 2 it was! - Still utter Sh*te though I really like their " City Life ", sounds great played loud in a venue. Not to be confused with Buddy Holly frontman Jerry Naylor's popular classic "City Lights". if you dont know it dont go expecting the next great sound, just a good little track, £20 not £200 might be a clue. (p.s. I've always wondered if they were the same group?) btw having spent my life totally avoiding pop music, and every other form of music that wasn't soul, n/s, etc. I had no idea that all these other versions existed, and I'd like to say thanks, for nothing, for wasting my life listening to tracy ullman, kylie,etc. my wife looking over my shoulder while I was typing this, reckons one time big time, ex scottish now americanised, singer Sheena Easton covered a soul classic, anybody else remember what it was?
