Alan Walls Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 In the wake of Terry Callier's sad passing, a mate - not a soulie - has asked if I know of another version, mid 70's vibe? He has it on an old, anonymous tape and it's doing his head in! Any suggestions? Ta! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Peter99 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Mentioned this on a radio show earlier Alan. I have this on the Turn You to Love album and think that is the version which used to get plays back in the day. But, there are other versions - I think there are at least two more but don't know the detail. Not much help is it - doh! I think one might be an accoustic take. Be interested to hear other answers.

Dennisoul Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The 3 versions I know Alan are....2 by Terry Callier, one slower version by TC on 45 and the LP uptempo one that Mark Linton used to play....and there's a version by Jerry Butler which is the same pace as the TC version on 45 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 incidentally although TC wrote the song jerry butler is the original i didn't know that, although it makes sense. very glad that callier re-cut it, probably sounded similar to his demo, with a little backing added. butler's version isn't really memorable.

Guest ScooterNik Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Jasmine Kara is a lass living in New York of Scandanavian upbringing and Iranian descent. She's obviously got a passion for soul music - her album is full of it. (god, did that sound like a blurb or what?) It was produced by Marshall Chess, a name I'm sure you're all familiar with, and was released in this country on Acid Jazz about a year ago, I got lucky and was sent a promo copy for review. Great album, if a touch on the R&B side. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
