Owd Codger Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Not too clear...but the intended Jimmy Ruffin befire it was edited
Alan T Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Little Hooks With Ray Nato And The Kings Long talking intro then a nice midtempo soulful sound, came out in1971 and easy to find. 2
Owd Codger Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Top tune Written & Produced by the legend Lamont Dozier, taken from the great "California Sunset" album Edited October 4, 2022 by Owd Codger 1 1
El Corol Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 An obvious one, but come on how good does this still sound. 1
Woodbutcher Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Another classic one you don't hear anymore but a staple when I was starting out on "the scene" ... 1 1
Happy Feet Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Remember this one getting a few spins and getting some dancefloor reaction back in the 70s 1 1

Owd Codger Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Mal C Hope you enjoy the album, it's excellent IMO, great group and Lamont Dozier at his best.
Kesalocasoul Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 If you have a spare forty minutes or so, listen again to these four spoken intros/outros: Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes I Miss You. Rapped outro begins at 3.35, stay with it to the very end five or so minutes later. Tyrone Davis I Had It All The Time Lenny Williams Where Did Our Love Go The story continues with Lenny Williams Somebody Else
Guest Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I think there are two versions of this beauty . Spoken intro into gentle two stepper.
Tlscapital Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Macho, mean and so not fit for today's politicaly correct order of the day. I've always loved it Mind you I like to think that I am the opposite like a lady's man. Most of the time that is... LOL !
Mike Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) this one always impresses short and sharp like but bonus of a shouted reply straight back Edited October 8, 2022 by Mike

Always have looked at this fine work as a sort of 'Lord whats happening' part 2 though guess could argue more a case of being sung slowly than a spoken intro Edited October 8, 2022 by Mike
Sjclement Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Almost 2 minutes of spoken intro (or rap as it was called then) I think we all missed out on this storming dancer back then. I found out a few years later that some demo copies didn't have the rap intro
Shinehead Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Could be the whole album but this still gets me after all the years 1

John Hart Posted October 13, 2022 Author Posted October 13, 2022 A few Motown related "Talkies"to check out, :Jimmy Ruffin "Boy From Mississipi", Bobby Womack "Home Is where The Heart Is " and, "Dayligh." Chuck Jackson " Honey Come Back "{ Defines the emotion of Spoken Intro Listen To Glen Campbells, cover to prove the point !} As the original Poster ,some great choices, ironically nobody answered my actual primary Question, Why was R Dean Taylors spoken intro, wiped on the Canadian "Let,s Go Somewhere "reissue???. LOL John

LOL John I guess it was an error , looking at discogs and checking the times printed on labels , Originally 2.51 mins. back in 1965 . Reissued in US, Canada , UK all 2.51 mins. in 73/74 Australia 2.54 mins /74 South Africa 2.49 mins /74 Germany 2.48 mins /74 None of the 6 x I think, UK reissues have a time printed on them only the promo's at 2.51 I've never seen or heard a copy from either Australia ,South Africa or Germany anybody ? To prove one way or the other a one off . Good luck
Solution Agentsmith Posted October 21, 2022 Solution Posted October 21, 2022 Has anyone taken the time to think about and reply to the original question? Maybe, with the spoken intro, originally recorded in the 60's it ( Lets Go Somewhere ) was seen as a protest song.. against Nam or just the way the world was at the time? By 74, perhaps Motown in Canada didnt see it as relevant, hence the edit. The record sold nothing on its release in 65, neither did " Ghost " recorded nearly 2 years later...only the fact that it caught on here, in northern circles, lifted it from relative obscurity to a national best seller for Motown in 74. It was certainly a wise idea to team up Taylor's two best offerings on one double header. im not suggesting any favourite intro's because enough have been already, and its taken the rmphasis away from what was originally asked. Any thoughts?, anyone wish to elaborate?. 1
