Blackpoolsoul Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I was sat with my new friend in Blackpool Towers, who knows much more than me (most do) He asked me if I knew about this record and laughed saying ask the site and see if they know ? I had just picked up a copy of Shirley (always loved) and had no idea of this crass record (IMO)(he likes it !!!!) He said the "Mighty Two is a reference to well known people on the scene Steve Underwood and New York is funny too." I am intrigued and if it has been covered before please direct me Here we go Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tlscapital Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Never liked Shirley's original of 'soul time' but this dreadfull thing is indeed very repulsive to say the least... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Each to their own, I suppose, but that's way too weak for my liking. In fact, based on what I've just heard, I'm now impelled to consider this French 'cover version' in a much more positive light! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I picked up this monstrosity years ago for about a quid because I hoped that the few tracks I wanted on CD were original recordings(Darrell Banks, Holidays etc) the rest obviously were Simon Soussan and others remakes. The one that I questioned was the Helena Ferguson. I didn't believe at the time it was genuine. I only hope the Soul Fox didn't profit from my purchase!

Mal C Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) I'm sorry, that Helena Furguson is absolutely awful. had the singer heard the original before they recorded it? Edited February 21, 2022 by Mal C 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
