Popular Post Happy Feet Posted December 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2023 In memory of the very sad news and the recent loss of our Soul Brother Andy Bellwood RIP , and his terrific work at Last Bastion , I'm pretty sure he would have nominated this version , a modern day release of the highest order of a great soul classic . 4 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) On 11/12/2023 at 06:47, Roburt said: There are quite a number of 'covers' that I like. Not too many decent Beatle's songs covers on the soul side but I do like E,W&F's attempt + Syretta's effort too. For me, Jose Feliciano was at his best on covers -- his take on "Golden Lady" is just sublime. One song that never really did it for me was "Pony Time" -- that certainly inspired quite a few cover versions in very quick succession after Don Covay's group's original effort ... Can't remember the artist but always liked the female version of ' got to get you into my life' on scepter, if I remember correctly. And this The best version for me Edited December 13, 2023 by Geeselad 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

But can't find the other , unreleased shrine recording " I Wanna Hold Your Hand " , I know people might squirm but there have been quite a few of the Beatles ( Lennon & McCartney) tunes covered my favourite is, JJ Barnes , Day Tripper Edited December 14, 2023 by Happy Feet Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Happy Feet Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Nobody has yet mentioned any instrumentals , so here's one and by far the superior version,, Eddie Bishop ,Call Me , written by Tony Hatch , first sung by Petula Clark , and then probably Tony Hatch and his good lady Jackie Trent .

Happy Feet Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 If you where there at the Casino when this was packing the floor , and then released on a Disco Demand 45 , what a tune so atmospheric and still no version better Ila Van , Can't Help Loving That Man Of Mine , check out the record credits they go all the way back to 1928 , Helen Morgan , from the musical "Showboat " written by Oscar Hammerstein & Jerome Kern , a little bit Doctor Who don't you think , imagine if they had a time machine , " Why are all these kids up so late , wide awake and dancing shouldn't they be at home in bed " lol 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Nice, new to me, second time in two days on this thread that someones posted a different version of a Jr Walker track which made me think how easy we forget the obvious ones as no one though i could have missed it posted Jr's What Does it Take on the best intro thread. Take Me has been a long time favourite of mine, nice raspy vocal on this version. Everytime I play Take Me I wish Jr's sax playing went on a little longer before the girls start singing, that Sax hits me right to the pit of my stomach. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Alan Price had good taste in music. He liked his soul, so the Alan Price Set's initial four UK singles included his covers of "Any Day Now", "I Put A Spell On You" & "Yours Until Tomorrow". While an EP from the group released in France during the same time period featured "Barefootin", "Have Mercy" & "Getting Mighty Crowded".
