scunnyjack Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Assuming you mean non Motown-The Isley's-I Hear A Symphony being one of the best examples of other Motown versions of their songs,I have always liked Vanilla Fudge's rock version of You Keep Me Hanging On.
sister dawn Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) The best cover for a supremes track is half a ton of top soil IMHO Edited August 9, 2008 by Sister Dawn
Suzannek Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 That is 'kin brill, where can i get a copy? Simon I second that! Suz x
Ady Croasdell Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Undoubtedly the best is Jr Walker's Come see About Me, he takes it to another dimension. I also like Mitch Ryder's version and the Vanilla Fudge mentioned is brilliant too.
Guest geordiebri Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 A bit camp like, but I do like Marlena Shaw "touch me in the morning"
Guest Simon Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Are you serious Simon? Deadly serious Pete, you know i'm a big girl group fan, that is right up my street! Can you find me a copy? Simon
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Undoubtedly the best is Jr Walker's Come see About Me, he takes it to another dimension. I also like Mitch Ryder's version and the Vanilla Fudge mentioned is brilliant too. Me too, but none of 'em beat Nella Dodds!
Davetay Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Me too, but none of 'em beat Nella Dodds! I will agree 100% with you on this one, brill version of a Supremes record. Also had a soft spot for Cartmel Stings back in the 70,s (not so sure now).
Guest Trevski Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) That is 'kin brill, where can i get a copy? Simon Think its s**t rare Simon. JM auctioned a copy, first he had seen, I was outbid, unfortunatly. Been looking ever since. If you follow this link https://www.garagehangover.com/?q=taxonomy/term/16/9 It will tell you all about it. backing is by an Ohio garage band the Vandaliers who were called in to cut the track. Further down the page you can get an MP3 of it. Best of luck. I think it's great, but then I LOVE girly mid-tempo stuff! PS Sandy Chapin is not the same Sandy Chapin that was married to the crap singer/songwriter Harry Chapin. (Just to save you wasting all the time I did time on searches! ) Edited August 9, 2008 by Trevski

De-to Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 brain seizure but didnt val palmer do a version of back in my arms on twin hits ????
De-to Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 just playing,tim wilsons version of itching on blue-rock it must have been popular because im sure this version was booted on i think the storm label,???
kevinsoulman Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Donnie Elbert - Where Did Our Love Go also did decent version of stop in the name of love kev
Davetay Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) just playing,tim wilsons version of itching on blue-rock it must have been popular because im sure this version was booted on i think the storm label,??? Yes Timothy Wilson was pressed circa 1973. I forgot about Jenny&Jewels and Val Palmer all three great records Edited August 9, 2008 by davetay
Soulsmith Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Donnie Elbert - Where Did Our Love Go Shocking version. Not quite as bad as the video. But close.
Soulsmith Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 That sounds like a 15 year old English girl singing. Maybe it is. I was going to say that. I probably will anyway.
Soulsmith Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 A bit camp like, but I do like Marlena Shaw "touch me in the morning" Disco sucks.
Soulsmith Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 PS Sandy Chapin is not the same Sandy Chapin that was married to the crap singer/songwriter Harry Chapin. (Just to save you wasting all the time I did time on searches! ) Talk about coincidences. So she is a bit of a crap singer, not related to anyone.
Guest nipsip Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Shocking version. Not quite as bad as the video. But close. But better than the original.
Soulsmith Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 But better than the original. It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
Steve Edgar Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. Is that an Oscar Wilde quote?.... if it aint, it should be!..... and if it's yours... brilliant! steve
Guest nipsip Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. Oh, so all those Rolling Stone tunes are failures.
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 4 for me on this Nella Dodds - Come See About Me The Houstons - Where Did Our Love Go Isley Brothers - Stop In The Name of Love i just love the way they do it Dixie Chicks - You Can't Hurry Love
Guest Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 As already been mentioned, Vanilla Fudges version of 'keep me hanging on'
