Blake H Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I heard Billy Stewart's fantastic version of this great song on Jonathan Ross today and wondered just how many versions there are of The Knight Brothers classic? BTW is Billy Stewart on a 45? The only version I have is by Aesops Fables on Cadet Concept 7011, will put a clip up on Sunday, thanks for any info.

Pete S Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I didn't like that Billy Stewart treatment of it - though I do like Billy Stewart - love the Virgil Bros version though. They were Aussies I think. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest noss Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Ed Robinson version on Atco is great. Very different from the Knight Brothers one. I first heard this on a radio show that Steve Davis did some years ago on BBC Radio London as a one off. He played this in a continuous slot together with Freddie Hughes "I Just Found Out", Bobby Wilburn "I'm A Lonely Man" and Nolan Chance "I'll Never Forget You". A great set!

BH Have a look here at the Deep Soul Tuesday from a week back Blake, post 49 https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.p...=36850&st=0 I posted up a version by the Soul Survivors, as good as any of the versions (imho) though as i said, i think the Knight Brothers is still my favourite.

Guest noss Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Like the Knight Brothers, but prefer the Virgil Brothers version I am suprised at that. Come on guys let's put in in perspective! I always thought it was generally accepted that The Knight Brothers is the seminal version. The others are also very good, but certainly not better.
