Guest Phoenix8049 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Thelma Houston was the best version in my opinion. Mr Melvin and co did a pretty good job too.

Jez Jones Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Thelma Houston DLMTW was the first record to be played in 1977 in The Highland Room - it was played just after midnight by Ian Levine. ...and also played at the same time by 70's club DJ Ray Teret at the Place in Hanley. Ray was quite adept at stringing together a half decent set considering the disco environment that prevailed. Mr Melvin's does it for me though Edited August 21, 2010 by jez jones Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Pinch Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 harold melvin DLMTW was a 12 month old lp only track when thelma decided to cut it. HM orig was never a 45 in the states. only when thelmas version was no 1 in the states did philly decide to put the 45 out in europe. HM a classic......... thelmas version is average.................. jimmy summerville version is rubbish IMO DAVE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
