Like the O'Jays, but it's just gotta be the Whatnauts - it's still amazes me when Ms Jones fires up those pipes.

It's just a shame how relatively little product there is on her that's of interest to us (at least Northern that is), such a shame she died young - always loved the nuttiness of 'Your Love Hit Me Like TNT' (heard the obvious ones simply too much and sold them both a long time ago - kept TNT!) - I heard it said she was only 14 when she knocked it out, don't know how true that is.

Linda Jones all day long. You mention both; assume you refer to My Heart... and Just Can’t..., if you haven’t already, check out the Hypnotyzed Loma album for her superior version of A Last Minute Miracle (maybe a future battle with that one) and the fantastic If Only We Had Met Sooner plus the alternative version on her first Turbo album

The backing's too frantic for me. I used to have a different vocal to it by the Shirelles called something like 'You Are My Last Chance' - anyway Ady Pierce got very excited when I flogged it to him 30 odd years ago, one I should've kept. Dx

o'jays for me with linda just behind. Escorts might have been ok it if was the only version i had ever heard but just not in the same class for me. I have the o'jays & linda versions and also this other version by the casuals which most people i've played it to dont like but there is a frantic/rawness i quite enjoy (labels reversed by the way)
