Benji Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Great record. One of my alltime favourites. Much better than the original. LP only I think?
Guest Dave Turner Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Sounds like it's pitched up from the "Goin' Back To Chuck Jackson" LP track
night nurse Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 nice tune heard played out couple of times cant say were though
Benji Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Sounds like it's pitched up from the "Goin' Back To Chuck Jackson" LP track Yes it is (pitched and taken from the Goin Back album). But still great. Sadly the other tracks on the album aren't as good (playing it while typing)
pogo paul Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Love Chuck Jackson as a rule, but sorry, this is not a patch on Tyrone Davis.
Premium Stuff Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Prefer the non-pitched version of Chuck by miles compared to the "Northern" version in post #1. Then again Tyrone's version is pretty much the dogs ... Cheers Richard https://youtu.be/zgQKgnw2Cdw 3
Guest Dave Turner Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) One of those records where there are a few good versions so most everyone will have a favourite. Either it be Tyrone Davis, Doug Haynes, Don Bryant, Gene Chandler, Charles Pryor or others Personally my fave is Don Bryant's LP only cut but like I said everyone will have their own personal choice.

That's an awesome version Dave - didn't know it so thanks for posting So how many versions were there and can we list them all? Cheers Richard
Guest Dave Turner Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Without searching Richard there are the ones I listed above plus Chuck's plus there are a lot of reggae versions as well I also like Charles Pryor as "I Just Want To (Change My Mind)" which is considerably different but obviously borrows a lot from the Tyrone Davis ... appeals to my deeper side Edited January 10, 2014 by Dave Turner

Nice one. Cheers Richard
Platters 81 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 i would think you could include Joyce Jones on Vee-eight/Atco as a "version".......i always wondered how they got away with ostensibly copying a million seller....slightly fiddling with the title and lyrics
Shinehead Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 That's an awesome version Dave - didn't know it so thanks for posting So how many versions were there and can we list them all? Cheers Richard Willie Clayton , Willie Henderson ( instrumental).
Mal C Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) think above folk have said it, very Nice, Love chuck, but you simply cant beat Tyrone Davis... Ohh, wait there not heard Don Bryant before.... thats done it Dave, Urrrrrrrr.... I'm getting me head turned here... how can I not say Tyrone is the best, Its SOUL BLASTPHEMY!!

Soulsan Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Please check out Willie Henderson's version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRSAJ2w2x-8 We used to play that arrangement in our student band. I played the trombone part. So this song brings back good memories to me.

Jordirip Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Joe Johnson does a good version imo. Possibly my favourite version. Horns, horns, horns. 2
Benji Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Some nice versions posted, thanks to all of you! Chuck Jackson and Alton Ellis are among my alltime fave artists so obviously I consider their takes to be the best...
Soulfinger Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 What a fantastic thread this is! Tyrone Davis has been an all time favourite for me and also have the Chuck Jackson and Alton Ellis versions. The rest were unknown to me. Joe Johnson is an absolute killer for me, Cheers to each and everyone who posted them!
Dobber Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I'm surprised so many quality soul singers have bothered to waste recording time on a run of the mill weak song,neither here nor there to my ears...sorry!
Illusive Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Fabulous thread. So May nice versions make it hard to pick a winner. Kudos to the posters.
Britmusicsoulfan Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I have the Joe Johnson with the picture sleeve. It's great!
John Benson Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Just to add a little more to this, there's at least 3 different mixes of the Tyrone Davis recording of this song. The LP itself and the Dakar 45 - the LP just being longer than the 45 The the Roulette release with Eddie Holman's 'Hey there lonely girl' on the flip side. - This one is the same backing track as the Dakar but without the horns and added female backing singer. The MCA release with Eddie Holman as above - Same backing track but without the horns and no female backing singer. this one has a much lower sound to the recording. The Goldies release, also having Eddie Holman on the flip. - This one is the same recording as the MCA release but this time it's a much louder recording so the instruments can be heard easier.
