Sam Williams is a really top sound but I must admit of late the ohio players take has my preference. Not sure what that fetches these days?

Ohio Players' version rather cheap to find and the better version IMO.

Richard Searling used to play the great Herman Hitson version of "Love Slipped Through My Fingers" in Wigan Casino and other places around 1980. 

I like all the versions of it. It's just a great song!

The version Richard used to play is also my favoutite. although isn't it by Nate Adams ?.

I think it was Rod Dearlove who put out a CD with HH on it, and that is a very different version.

This would make a great "best version thread"

4 very different attempts and all good.

HH and NA new to me. Any more versions out there??

Think it's just the four, or at least four that we know of. Who knows what is lurking on a studio shelf.

If memory serves me correctly John Anderson said at one Cleethorpes he saw the tapes for Sam Williams with loads of different takes on them.

That would be interesting, wonder if the tapes still exist.

All the same?

Is a plot thickening?

The Toward Barnes on the Jo Mar label is a bootleg of the LP version by Ohio Players.

The CD I have here, Rare & Unissued Georgia Soul 1961-1976 - You Are Too Much For The Human Heart, it was produced by Aaron Fuchs, Rod is nowhere to be seen on the disc.  Done in NYC on the Soul Tay Shus label.

Yeah, just looked at it myself, and see that now. I think I bought it from Rod,and assumed they were "By" him. Put two and two together and made five.

@Mick Holdsworth

acetate flip side "yes you did" Nate Adams. that might be what you are thinking.

Pretty sure there is a Nate Adams Atlantic acetate of LSTYF as well.  Again both Nate and Herman did Yes You Did, all down to Johnny Brantley I guess who had all the different versions of LSTYF.  Wonder if the tapes still exist?

Posted (edited)

@Simon T Simo just sent a live tape recording where Richard is calling the "Lonely Lonely Lonely Man I Am" version as Herman Hitson, which lines up with the youtube clip he posted above. So God knows where the "Nate Adams" tag originated from, but that's what I've known it as since the early 80's.

Will have to analyse the two versions, see If they are the same vocalist, HH.

When I met Ed Lewis in NY .. one of the co-writers .. I asked him about the song and what did he think of the Sam Williams release .. he replied he'd never heard of Sam and the only version he knew was the one they had recorded with Nate Adams

I read earlier that Johnny Brantley told John Anderson there was over ten versions, not sure if this was meant to mean takes by one artist or every one with a different artist?
