Little-stevie Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Not a bad version of this great soul track... Good strong vocals.. Always loved the lyrics on this track... "Its been a long time coming, a change is gonna come" Says it all really... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
ZapatootheTiger Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Released on 10-Nov (according to hmv.com). All well-known classics, I'm wondering whether to take a punt on this one - Seal has a more-than-decent voice, though I've heard none of these. Should I buy or not?1. Change Is Gonna Come 2. I Can't Stand The Rain 3. It's A Man's Man's Man's World 4. Here I Am (Come And Take Me) 5. I've Been Loving You Too Long 6. It's Alright 7. If You Don't Know Me By Now 8. Knock On Wood 9. I'm Still In Love With You 10. Free 11. Stand By Me 12. People Get Ready Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Great version! Have been playing it a lot on Radio 2 over the last couple of weeks or so - kept missing who it was, so now I know! Thanks Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 gotta agree it s a good credible version but it's just lacking something in comparison to Sam Cooke's version, doesn't quite capture the mood. Apart from Sam's superior vocals the orchestration, strings etc give it that darker moodier feel. Still good though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Seal track does lose it for me towards the end a little.... As a one off its quite fresh but don't think i would want to hear him do all them classics, maybe a little too much with regards to classic cover versions........

I'm Still In Love With You 10. Free 11. Stand By Me 12. People Get Ready I'm gonna give this one a whirl. I think Seal is a phenomenal vocalist and I've got pretty much everything he's ever done. I'm wondering if the "It's Alright" is a cover of Sterling Void.........? Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 A great cover of a Sam cooke record i say, i think it should be No 1. He does have a nice voice and i do like Seal Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) real soul , Chalky , real soul .... listened again and still say he does quite a credible job for the first part, but he starts to lose it second half and loses it altogether towards the end And you are right it does like the soul compared to Sam's version but then again I don't think he's making a statement like Sam Cooke, it's a record aimed at the charts.
