"Time" - Mighty Clouds Of Joy cover of the one by Jackie Moore - Lou Rawls,... "Goin' Places" - Michael Henderson - Jacksons "I Miss You" - The Dells - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - The Manhattans And also same-titled albums by very different artists and concept (as "Survival" by O'Jays and Bob Marley & The Wailers or "Black & Blue" by Blue Notes and Rolling Stones,...)

Geoff Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 CALL ON ME by There is a song of the above title on the b-side of Baby I Need Your Loving by the Four Tops.
Deegee Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 The blenders brought out a record in 1953 and then did another version in which they had changed one word in it to give to dj's for a bit of a crack. It was "dont mess around with love" and the under the table version exchanged "mess" for "f**k " !! apart from that it was the same.
Citizen P Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 How about The Velvelettes---These Things Will Keep Me Loving You. Exactly the same tune but completely different lyrics on the single from the version on Motown Chartbusters 6 (which happens to be the version also put out on the This is Northern Soul, Motown CD that Chris King put together) ATB Tony

Guest moggy Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) Heard 'Time' being played on Gordon Ramsey F word the other night. Still cant get used to hearing Northern in mainstream! But it was released into the mainstream, like lots of other Motown It wasn"t an unearthed gem from some unheard of label So lots of non NS people would recognise it I know, I am being picky arent I sorry Talking of Time = Culture Club Edited May 11, 2007 by moggy
