Bill Freeman - I'm Not Gonna Lose It -Soland

[Kev John]

There was a old thread on here way back they where talking about the Bernard Harper version which was C/U as Billy Arnell 

Thought it would be nice to get your views about this one 

I have never heard Bernard Harpers version 

I'm edging my bets that Bill Freeman's may have been the 1st 

Any info on both & if anyone has the soundfile for BH could you share on this thread

Thanks Mike 

Sounds like he's blue eyed singer 

I still choose Bill Freeman more soulful & the deeper side of the spectrum

There's a third version as well, by Ernie Carter on the Action label, utilising the same backing track as Bernard Harper and Bill Freeman. Soundclip and scan below.

Just come to mind i've seen a copy of Bill's record last year in Butch's @neckender sale box at the record fair

No price but Mark did say he'd got a faster version of said record !

I had the Ernie Carter covered up in the 80s, until I decided it just wasn't good enough and put it back on a shelf. Got it from Soulbowl  for £8.
