This is a really good question - so good I'm recording my 1st post. My initial reaction was it must Holland Dozier 'Why can't we be lovers?" but on reflection I think Gene Chandler "Does she have a friend for me?" is equally as good. While talking about Gene C don't forget "nothing can stop me" also charted. A near chart entry from '73 was "Stoned out of my mind" from the Chi-lites, a great record to warm up any venue. As it didn't chart I'll go with "Oh girl" instead. Regards to all Ada from "The Black Country"

Sure was released in the UK; originally on Pye International 25371. Probably ona few re-issues too. Not sure if it made the charts, maybe lower reaches. Good choice. :yes:

More recently, I watched Alicia Keys sing You Don't Know My Name live on Top Of The Pops - absolutely superb, seriously soulful as well! Also thought the John Legend Ordinary People remix (his best effort, by far) was an excellent soulful release as well.

Perhaps I'm missing something here. You're not the first to suggest this track. I've always thought it was a tad poppy. I'll go revisit it.

Colin

great record. not many have such mass appeal and still retain such quality imo.

fave of Pete-s if i am right?

Somewhat bizzarely - yes it is - absolutely brilliant record. I've got it in with my northern records but only because I keep forgetting where I've put it!.
