MRez Sure you're right, Jamaica versioned lotsa soul stuff of course. I was just echoing some mates comments & being a little contentious at the same time. Always good to stir the pot... The one that went the other way for sure IMO was Johnny Moore's "Big Big Boss" (1968) to Magic Night "if you & I etc" (1973). I posted the Johnny Moore a while back. Of course it was mainly one way traffic tho' USA-JA Nij Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

MRez Just listened to Johnny Moore - again, vague similarities but not sure there was any actually 'copying' going on there..? What year did the JA cut first surface? Pre or post-1975? It's the vocal on Magic Night that gets me and the JA 'take' is just lacking that extra special 'something' to my ears - just sounds a bit flat to my tired old ears... Sorry, wanted to love it but just didn't.....MRez Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 'Bell Bottom Blue Jeans' on Chess by Sonny (somebody, I can't remember his name?) was the original USA soul version that Symarip nicked 'Skinhead Girl' from! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Paul R Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 'Bell Bottom Blue Jeans' on Chess by Sonny (somebody, I can't remember his name?) was the original USA soul version that Symarip nicked 'Skinhead Girl' from! Warner, anyone got an MP3 of it? Fantastic track. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Its them horns just reaching higher & higher that do it for me. The reason I have Magic Night is that Paul Temple very kindly gave me his after I played him Big Big Boss. He's a top boy for that alone... Nij Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
