OK, I just heard a live version of that 'La la la' thing by Zoot Money and to kick it off he shouts to the audience "This one's by Stevie Wonder...".

Now as far as I'm concerned it's by The Blendells 'cause that's the version I've got, I'm willing to be put right on that though. What I am sure of is that Stevie Wonder never recorded it, so the question is, did he? or was Money confusing the song with that Stevie W. track about 'Living in La La Land'?

I think we should be told.

Oh by the way, Zoot's version...

It's crap.

Its a Jobette recording so its possible than Stevie has recorded it

extract on wikipedia 9tho appreciate not always 100 on there)

The Blendells were a 1960s Mexican American brown-eyed soul group from East Los Angeles, California. They garnered success in 1964 with their Latin-tinged cover of Stevie Wonder's "La La La La La."

Wow. Thought I'd heard everything that Stevie Wonder had ever recorded... What would be really annoying would be for me to now discover that I've got it somewhere, I've already found another version of the song but when I played it it was by some Brit soul band whose name I've already forgotten as it was almost as rubbish as the Zoot Money version.

I've really got to catalogue all this stuff someday...

cliff does a nice version .... well two actually i think, one on a live album ...... live at the talk of the town, including "ain't nothing like a house party":

Got a better Mexican version,rockin`6ts on a cool label. oh!!sung in whatever Mexicans sing.

Aaugh!!!

So I've now heard it by some long forgotten English soul band, Little Stevie Wonder, The Blendells, and Cliff Richard (Who in the hall thought it would be a good idea to put a C&W guitar solo in the middle???) and I can now say two things for certain...

1/ I no longer like it as much as I used to do.

2/ None of these are the version I heard on Juke Box Jury all those years ago, so who else has recorded it?

Dont no what happen then, lets try again
