Ernie Andrews Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Could have been an ender! Cheers for that Pete!
Pete S Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 surprisingly Pete, that is very very good... M I think Billy Vera wrote the song so maybe this is his demo?
Amsterdam Russ Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Nice. Interesting that someone added a snippet of this to refosoul in 2008 with the following text: billy never recorded it, even as a demo. he wrote the song for a girl to sing, and was quite surprised that only proby and the idle few cut it billy never knew of the idle few's version until comparaitively recently, which is an indication of how marginally their sales must have affected his royalty statements. 35secs only,thats all yer`gettin`. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/more/soul-library/billy-vera-people-thats-why-private-unissued-promo-cd-r45509

Soulhawk1960 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Love The Idle Few & now I love this as well. Great post Pete.
John Benson Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I don't know how many versions of this are out there, but PJ Proby also did it - on his Liberty LP, Enigma I think it was? 1
Paul R Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Play PJ on 45 & you have a great stompin' Pinkey & Perky Cover up!!!!!! Paul
Scal Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Idle Few, yes great record, great memory! Billy Vera and PJ Proby........would you people buy these two records, if you collected records that is?

Soulstu Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 MMM I like that Pete, not one for slower ones usually but that hits the spot.
