Thinksmart Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Listening on the train and just noticed how similar the backing instrumental of 'There Can Be A Better Way' by Smith Brothers (issued recently on the Jack Ashford Just Productions Volume 2 CD by Kent) is to 'Scrub Board' by The Trammps (which itself of course went on to be the backing to 'Hold Back The Night' a couple of years later). There is a lot in common between them. Never noticed before but the vocal track had nagged at me for years. Check the links here: There Can Be A Better Way (instrumental) Scrub Board Anyone else found this or other unmentioned similarities on other songs? Edited January 22, 2019 by ThinkSmart
Guest BabyBoyAndMyLass Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 This should be good! There are hundreds and hundreds of 'em!
Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Every time I hear "Together" by The Intruders, the intro remind me on the music of Thames TV that appears on spanish TV on the "Benny Hill Show"
Michael V Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Any other Doo-Wop lovin' Soul Sourcers ever noticed the similarity between the intro to Gwen Owen's great classic 'Just Say You're Wanted (And Needed)' and the intro to The Stereos 61' Doo Wop hit 'I Really Love You' (Cub) (MGM here in the UK) ? Not a conscious copy,I'm sure -probably just a nice bass riff that had subconsciously stuck in the back of the one writers/arrangers minds. Incidentally, John Lennon was apparently inspired by 'I Really Love You' when writing The Beatles 'Do You Want To Know A Secret'( as George Harrison later stated in an interview)using a similar melody line to The Stereos
Scootboy Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 These two sound quite similar to me And a little bit with this

The Yank Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Sounds a lot like Bobby Moore's "Searching For My Baby" -
Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 "Poppy Girls" by Quincy Jones got the same bass line that The O'Jays' "For The Love Of Money":
