..."I've Been Trying" - two more that immediately spring to mind are the Four Gents on HBR (and probably a little Detroit label before that) and the Heptones on Jamaican Gay Feet - which, although reggae, has as much soul in the vocals as any version I've heard.

I must have loads of other versions as I tend to buy them automatically as I see them, if they're cheapish. But these are the only two others that I can think of, off the top of my head, that haven't been covered by Platters81.

If I come up with any more, I'll be back.

PS and BTW that Nu-Sounds Express version is a killer!

How about Reggie Sadler Review on De-Lite and Fabulous Peps on Wheelsville, I think.

isnt there a version of "ive been trying" by the Chants on UK Chipping Norton?

Totally different song, but a great record if you like 70s two steppy sort of stuff.
