WOW!!! Get a load of this version of the 4 Tops... that intro is haunting... never heard this before, but Derrick Harriott is fast becoming my favorite Jamaican singer, next to Pat Kelly of course....

Here's one I thought Id got of Pete 'W' Smith, until we found out he also cut the Impressions track of the same name, anybody heard of, or got this one? I still need it..

Among the best he did. So Impressions-ish...

 

 

[Sunnysoul]

This is a nice version too :  

 

[Woodbutcher]

He did loads of covers , check out the Trojan Motorcity Box set.

Great artist.  I posted Trial Of Love, which was released twice on 45, in the lowrider thread a while ago.

 

 

[Woodbutcher]

The man himself ...

Many of his better 45's were re-issued about 5 years ago in Japan, great quality pressings on heavyweight vinyl.

On the subject of alt versions of Four Tops tunes, Ask The Lonely has been covered a few times over the years.  Here's a version by the Fabulous Plaidswhich can be usually be picked up cheaply.

Derrick also recorded a fantastic ( IMHO ) version of The Temptations "I gotta Know" changing the title to "Sitting on Top of The World"
