Pete S Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Evie Sands - I'll do anything - Cameo. Same bacing track as Doris Troy. Is this real, if so, what is it, single, lp track? Edited January 31, 2008 by Pete S Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Know nothing about it - but it certainly sounds like Evie. Doesn't sound like a 'put up' job to me. Backing sounds crisp (Does Doris version have the brief drumroll at the intro?) The Background vocals seem different to the Doris cut too! Unreleased CP recording? Where did you get it Pete? Not on a disc I presume? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not on a disc I presume? I've got a dvd disc with about 2000 tracks on it which I never played and I was quickly flicking through it and there it was! It's the identical backing track to Doris. If it's not in circulation then people get recording quick! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Anoraks Corner Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I recall it surfacing about 5 years ago on master tapes...I'm sure I cut it for Adey C, who then played it at the 100 Club at the time...may still do, but I find it quite difficult to get to the club nowadays...bit far to go!

Dave on the same cd as this was a version of The Sparkels - Try My Love supposedly by Norma Jenkins. Obviously unrelated but that surprised me too.

Not on a disc I presume? Just played the D Troy - Evie's version is slightly slower in tempo, but would say it's exact same backing track as I couldn't spot a difference, so could possibly be from CP vaults? I slowed my turntable to match the speed of the evie clip, defo different as even the opening lyrics themselves are different! NICE ONE! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Norma Jenkins is an unreleased Motown acetate ,Pete .Probably something to do with Sidney Barnes via Motowns New York office .Best ,Eddie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Croasdell Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I can't hear it on this old PC but it may be Dee Dee Sharpe's version that I got and shouldn't be in circulation. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Actually it is Dee Dee Sharp, I don't know why I wrote Evie Sands. Bit late for in not to be in circulation Ady - this is on a volume of a well known series of bootleg cd's. Nothing to do with me I hasten to add, I only heard it for the first time today Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Yeah it's good...can't really improve on the original though Actually mate, it probably IS the original, being that it's co-written by Kenny Gamble, and Dee Dee Sharp was then Mrs. Gamble. But I think even the most ardent "best version is the most obscure version" merchant would have to agree with you that Doris is "THE Version" on this... ...still wouldn't mind a cut of it that plays right through to the end, though...

Great version IMO. Grant Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
