Pete S Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Fantastic track, it's by Kenny Roberts on Pye and I think it's a cover of a Bobby Vee song. Written by "Leka / Shuster"

Schuster, Pulisher is TM Music Ltd. Ian D Umm, if you'd asked me this yesterday I could have also told you that Bobby Vee's brilliant original is a Jack Nitzsche job. Came out on UK Liberty, too. Fantastic record, unlike any of the other versions mentioned here...

Benji Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 ===== kenny roberts version is fantastic northern soul got my Pye issue in pride of place in the box if bobby vees is better than this it must be super fantastic..- i like bobby vee too Seconded, Kenny Roberts is pure Northern Soul (with emphasis on Northern and less Soul ). Bobby Vee is nice, full orchestra production, but a bit cheesy and much slower than Kenny Roberts.

Schuster, Pulisher is TM Music Ltd. Ian D Here' a scan of the Bobby Vee LP Track listing which confirms the writers as in previous posts I seem to remember the whole LP was Blue Eyed Soul - His version of "Let Nobody Love You" is worth a listen to. The Four Tops medley on Side 2 was actually booted on a 45 by Simon Soussan as the "Detroit Shakers" , a name he used more than once or twice for "cover-up" artists (The two Capitol tracks spring to mind).

Guest Fatius Bumius Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I like Run Like The Devil by Bobby Vee . I did go looking for the Liberty 45 a while ago and can't remember if it was more than I wanted to pay, or hard to find so I settled for the LP. Have to see if Jim will do me an mp3 of Run Like The Devil and put it up on here.

Guest Fatius Bumius Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Gotta remember that Bobby Vees version is just that, another version, and not a northern soul contender

Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk Actually Bobby Vee's "Do What You Gotta Do" LP is one of the great blue eyed soul LP's from the sixties and his version of Let Nobody Love You is - if truth be told - in my opinion just a touch better than Virginia Blakely's rarity on Mojo. That will horrify the soul purists of course and may well inspire a rush of poison posts in this direction . His version wins out for the crystal clear production, arrangement and instrumentation. Information on session musos and background singers doesn't appear to be instantly available. If it was recorded in LA though it probably has Darlene Love and the Blossoms singing background and probably the usual West Coast muso suspects who played on so many soul classics ... He recorded two other also excellent LPs in '66 & '67 in a similar soul vein . Interesting thing is that in an interview he did many years later that he pretty much dismissed this period of his career as a blue eyed soul man ... Edited July 20, 2008 by sunnysoul
funkyfeet Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 i think it was an English only mid-60s dancer. If anyone's got it who wrote it? ta Ady Ady, This came out on a CD a few years back entitled Dance like the Devil, it was made up of various artist who were released on PYE in the 60's. Mark
