Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Just received cdr of "Girl Don't Make Me Wait" - Darryl Hall. Great version from the same production team behind the Bunny Sigler version but with better (Van McCoy style) strings...it's amazing that quality material like this has been stuck in the vaults since the 60's. Neil

Neil ...'s all very well you telling us about it, mate - how about a bit of a sonic share out, even a minute-long mp3 would be nice Best, TONE
Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Hi Tony , I will find out if "my supplier" will allow that.(!) Can't at the moment. anyway..I left the CDR in Midlands before coming down to London this morning and am here for rest of the week. Neil
TheBigO Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Never fear TheBigO is here - 1 min enjoy https://cdbaby.com/cd/dhalljoates Oh and all the tracks can be previewed
Soulsmith Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Truly awful vocals, its no real surprise to me that this has been stuck in the vaults since the 60's. The real question for me is why anybody would choose to listen to it now? Col.

Pete S Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 And they said Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods were a bunch of c****
Guest in town Mikey Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Bunny's version is as good as it gets. Anyone else is always going to have too much to live up to.
Codfromderby Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 just played it really loud and my daughter ( a singer) shouted from upstairs "shut up dad you cant sing" , i was not singing i think that will be a no then
Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Oh dear, oh dear ---------- If someone had sent me a cdr of that i'd hunt them down.......... Derek
Sebastian Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 For sure not the "best" version, but it's not THAT bad. I mean, the tune is quite "wedding reception" to begin with. It's almost as if one would expect that you have something against Hall (& Oates)...
Sunnysoul Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Just received cdr of "Girl Don't Make Me Wait" - Darryl Hall. ............................ Sure it's not an Ian Levine tailor made ... ? Edited October 26, 2006 by sunnysoul
BrianB Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I used to have a version by the Gladiators on a yellow UK label. Can't remember what the label was though. Can't beat Bunny's version!
Guest Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Well I think it remarkable that a version of a Northern Soul classic - done by legendary Philly producers - has been recorded by someone as well known as Darryl Hall and been stuck in the vaults since the Sixties. Neil
Guest Paul Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Hello, It's always interesting when things turn up, Neil, but to me it sounds as if the snare drum (and maybe the strings?) have been added to an old track. I wouldn't have a problem with that but somehow it just doesn't feel right to me. And the vocals are poor anyway so I really can't understand how anyone would play this in preference to Bunny Sigler. But interesting all the same. Paul Mooney
Pete S Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I used to have a version by the Gladiators on a yellow UK label. Can't remember what the label was though. Can't beat Bunny's version! Direction...
Guest Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Hiya Paul, I never said anyone would prefer to play this to Bunny Sigler. Don't know about bits being added or not ......I have simply been sent a CDR. Neil PS - Thanks Pete for pointing me in the right direction for the ZZ Hill. Any ideas for the Brenda & The Tabulations single? Have got it on USA. import but really want it on UK Action. And desperate for the Tyrone Davis Stateside demo.

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 That was rather intresting, i know not the best but i like it. Daryl Hall did a version of Move On Up in the early 90's.
Guest scratuglia Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Also released in the 60's by an English group named Timebox (Deram).
