Song "Oh Yea", "Oh Yeah" by Mark Gaillard released 1979

[sukokia]

Hello.

I'm trying to get hold of a recording of the song "Oh Yea", "Oh Yeah" by Mark Gaillard released in 1979.

It's nowhere to be found. The Rolling Stones plagiarized a snippet of this song to release "Saint Of Me" in 1998.

They paid Mark Gaillard money for the plagiarism. Nothing is known about the case.

Does anyone know where I can find the original song from 1979?

It is nowhere to be found. He mysteriously disappeared.

Thank you.

Hello Amsterdam Ruso.

That's the reissued version from 1996.

The original is from 1979.

In 1995 the song was rewritten and recorded in 1996.

I'm looking for the original song from 1979.

No help on finding a 1979 recording but there's a long & interesting interview he did up on the net ...

He's Slim Gaillard's son, his sister Janis married Marvin Gaye (Mark spent years hanging out / working in Marvin's recording studio) ..  his dad & MPG are the guys referred to in this extract from the interview ...  Mark & his wife (who wrote lots together) divorced years ago.

He / they wrote loads of songs that are registered with BMI ...  are you sure that he actually recorded the song in 79 and didn't just write it then.

Keep in mind that the original song "Oh Yeah" was rewritten, recorded in 1995 and recorded a year later, in 1996, with a sound engineer whose name is John Bernard. Coincidentally, this sound engineer who worked on the recording of Mark Gaillard's song "Oh Yeah" later worked on the recording of the album Bridges To Babilon released by The Rolling Stones in 1997.
