scunnyjack Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just heard a Four Tops version of the Magnificent's My Heart Is Calling You, on The Eddy Edmondson Solar Radio Show. I gather it was unreleased and appeared on a Four Tops CD Box set a couple of years ago. Am I correct in saying it was written by Frank Wilson and Billy Gordon ? and are there any other Motown versions ? Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 "My Heart Is Calling You" is from the Four Tops Forever boxed set from 2001. The song was written by Mr. Wilson and MARC Gordon. I've never heard of any other Motown version but there could be one in the vaults somewhere. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Do you know which Four Tops box set it was on? Ian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Hi Ian, A couple of year ago a box set including some unreleased stuff came out in the USA.I think it was available on import for about £50. I am assuming this was the box set Plumby was referring to. I loved it too as I do all of the Four Tops output. Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I can remember the boxed set being talked about and went on the net to search for it, but did not think it was that far back. Time flies !

Sean Hampsey Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 What a coincidence! I was only playing this last night! Its on the 'FOUREVER' 4x CD box set, released in 2001. Loads of great tracks on there. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

scunnyjack Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 There you go! https://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B00005O6NA Sean £97.30 + P & P for new. Gone up somewhat since I was showing interest. You are right Sean there are some great tracks on it. At the time I chose to buy the Spinners- Chrome Collection Book/Box set instead and I would recommend this one too. Thanks Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ficklefingers Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Any chance, please, of someone posting a soundclip of MHIC - or a link to one ?? I'd love to hear a sample of how this sounds and would greatly appreciate anyone's kind consideration. Thanx in advance Fingers Edited January 31, 2010 by FickleFingers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wrongcrowd Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Nice enough version, but lacks the energy and rawness of the Magnificents...it's been Motowned. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve Plumb Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Nice enough version, but lacks the energy and rawness of the Magnificents...it's been Motowned. I sort of agree with you Cliff but wasn't it written originally for Motown, say in the way 'My sugar baby' was, only to be rejected and thus passed onto another artist in LA to record? I thought it was worth playing on't radio anyways Cheers Steve ps Just spotted yer PM, will reply in a mo' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
