Hey Lady M: A lot of Motown songs have also been done over & over again.....by OTHER Motown artists!!!!

It seems like this gentleman did a damn good impersonation of Chuck Jackson, Eddie K & others!!!! OH GOLLY...I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!!! Spyder, if anyone had told me that I'd be typing this to you, I'd have said that they were crazy!! It's a honor, that was definitely one of my favorites. I'm not worthy...... Err...aah...Re Re: About Skylark.....we REALLLLLY need to talk about that. You mean that you didn't love Mr Wilsons' vocals??? They didn't slay you?? Medusa: How are ya there I think that all the choices are great. I really loved Aretha's Until You Come Back To Me!!! The only question I have is how in the world did Puffy & Kanye miss sampling those cuts?

Wow SDF! The Marvelettes did a cover of The Emotions' 'So I Can Love You'? I had no idea! What does that sound like? There's a great song on Jean Terrell's solo album called 'The Rising Cost Of Love' that was covered by several different artists. I've heard versions by Millie Jackson, Darrow Fletcher, Loose Change, Cut Glass and Elkie Brooks. My favorite is the Loose Change version with Jean's coming in second. Jean gives a good (yet way too restrained) performance on her original version but the group Loose Change turned this one out! I just don't understand why this song was never a hit with so many different recordings of it around? Has anyone else heard it? | ||

We had two earlier threads on this same subject some months ago, they should be in the Archives. What about "Stairway to Heaven"- there was the hard rock original - I don't know the name of the group. Tiny Tim and Gefilte Joe and the Fish did remakes. Then there's Neil Sedaka's version (just kidding. That was a different song). What about "The White Cliffs of Dover". There must have been 100 R&B versions alone Also: White Christmas Blue Moon Secret Love C.C. Rider Misty Feelings "I'm Not In Love" was also sung by The Love Twins (on OUR OWN Altair Records, I might add).) | ||

Medusa, funny you should bring this up, cause I just mentioned in conversation I wanted to create a cd like this, now this will help me along. I said that Wichita Lineline seems to be a song that has been done several times. I love the country feel of that song. Glen Campbell, Ray Charles, The Originals all did it. I know there are a few other folk too, not to mention the instrumental versions of it. | ||

Hello Submarine, Moe! I don't knows this one you mentioned. BTW of the little I knows my fave is the one by Billy Paul (from his "Ebony Woman" LP). This Billy's album contains some other "standars" as: -"Mr. Robinson" (originally by Simon & Garfunkel) -One originally by Sly Stone ("All Day Music"?...). I can't checking the Lp now. Medusa, add the powerful live cover by CTI-All Stars of "People Makes The World Go Round". Also, speakin of Ronnie Laws, his "Always There" has been covered by Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown among many other fusion artists. Another "standar" is "Stranger In Paradise" I've heard it many times also in a spanish TV spot. I got a very good cover by Isaac Hayes in his "New Horizon" LP. Peace & Soul Food | ||

Manny, William Shatner was the star in the TV series Star Trek. For some odd reason he made an album a few years back that was terrible. He is presently doing commercials with another ex- Star Trek member, Leanord Nimoy, which are much better than his album was. | ||

Hi again, soulful friends! Hello, Moe. Thanks for your explanation. I knows who is this actor but ignored his "singer" facet. In fact I practically never see the Star-treck serie. My children seen always at catalonian TV. Here in Spain have a legion of fans called "Trekis". The only actor of a TV serie who is "also" a singer and I knows and likes a lot is a member of "G Command" (Comando G in spanish TV), ISAAC HAYES. (Smile!) Some other covers i remember now: �All The Way� (Frank Sinatra, Lou Rawls, Solomon Burke) �Cabaret� (Liza Minelli, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and a lot of other artists) �California Dreaming� (Mamas & Papas, Kymaera) Peace & Soul Food | ||

Manny--There's another version of "Together" by a group out of east L.A. called Tierra. It was a pop and soul hit in 1981 and they also threw in a couple of lines from "Cowboys to Girls" as well. Also, whoever mentioned Shatner as doing "Proud Mary" got the wrong Trek guy. That was Nimoy who did a version of that one (no matter, as he's just as rotten a singer as Shatner is...and since Shatner recites the lyrics, can we even consider him a singer?). Best, Mark | ||

Thanks for pointing that out about The Emotions, Roddee. I knew that 'So I Can Love You' was recorded in 1969 while Jeanette was still in the group. From what I understand Theresa Davis didn't join until 1971 when Jeanette left to get married. I forgot to mention this to SDF. Here's a few more: 'Never Gonna Give You Up' - Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler, Isaac Hayes, Lyn Collins, Bonnie Bramlett & Dobie Gray 'I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face' aka 'I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby' - Baby Washington, Dee Dee Warwick, Sonji Clay (Muhammad Ali's ex-wife) 'Piece Of My Heart' - Erma Franklin, Janis Joplin, Delaney & Bonnie, Betty LaVette, The Ikettes, Etta James, Faith Hill 'The Love That A Woman Should Give To A Man' - Patti Drew, Phyllis Dillon, Spanky Wilson, Lyn Roman (?) | ||

Hello Submarine to all, Thanks, Mark for your info. I only knows Tierra was in the Salsoul catalogue. For their name ("Earth" in spanish) i supouse they made a sort of latin-soul.

No, Manny, Tierra did not record for Salsoul. Their hit single came out on the short-lived Boardwalk label, owned by Neil Bogart (former president of both Buddah and Casablanca records). The label shut down shortly before Bogart passed away from cancer. "Little Green Apples"--also recorded by Roger Miller "Make It With You"--also recorded by both the Whispers and the Main Ingredient "With Pen in Hand"--also recorded by Johnny Darrell, Vikki Carr and Billy Vera Best, Mark | ||

Thanks Manny. I'm not familiar with the group Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers. How's their version of 'Never Gonna Give You Up'? My favorites so far have been the Jerry Butler original and the version by Bonnie Bramlett & Dobie Gray. The Gene Chandler and Lyn Collins remakes are not all that great. I usually like Lyn Collins' funky, James Brown produced covers of popular hits that they did in the early 70's but her 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is predictable and uninspired. I did a little research after I last posted to this thread and I see that there are several more versions of 'I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face' that I didn't know about. In addition to the ones I've already listed there are versions by Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Madeline Bell, Dusty Springfield, The Monticellos and SDF's own Spyder Turner! | ||

Roddee, Jeanette was in the group and one of the original Emotions true enough, but at the time when this song was recorded, it was with Wanda & Sheila,& Theresa's vocals because Jeanette was pregnant and out of the group for a while in the late 60's. Handsome | ||

Hello Submarine again! Hey, Mark, Thanks for your explanations about Tierra (perhaps Salsoul only distributed, ??) Hi, Rodmann, I don't knows how to describe how sounds this Chuck Brown cover. Of course not admits comparison with the one by the Ice Man, it's more deep and some... Go-go style at the same time (Chuck is considerd as the "king" of go-go style). Some other "covers": -"Love Train" O'Jays, Bunny Sigler, Three Degrees -"Me & Ms. Jones" Billy Paul, Johnny Mathis, Freddie Jackson, Sarah Jane Morris -"I Stand Accused" Jerry Butler, Elvis Presley Also have two more covers of "If You Don't Know Me By Now": by Ray Conniff and Sarah Jane Morris Peace & Soul Food | ||

Nope, Boardwalk had nothing to do with Salsoul. It was distributed initially through CBS, then went independent. "Sukiyaki"--also recorded by Jewel Akens (the first American translation of the song, entitled "My First Lonely Night", in 1965). Rod--you don't know Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers? You've never heard their song "Bustin' Loose"? Best, Mark | ||

Thanks Manny. Mark, I'm not familiar with Chuck Brown and as far as I know I've never heard 'Bustin Loose'. The closest thing I've heard is Rick James' hit 'Bustin Out'. Hey Handsome. Everything I've read has always stated that Jeanette didn't leave The Emotions until 1971. I assumed that she was with the group throughout the 60's. DVDMike is the expert on Chicago Soul and if anyone can find out, he can. Thanks. | ||

Wow, quite a list! I don't think I saw this title, but am quite surprised it hasn't been mentioned...SUNNY by Bobby Hebb was recorded many, many times by different artists. It was said to have been one of the most recorded songs in 1968, I believe. I thought of it by the original question on this post--"multiple" times and SUNNY was done over and over.

Lady Mystique: Leon Russell wrote and recorded the original "A Song For You." I second the recommendation to hear Donny Hathaway's newly released version of "Yesterday." It is deep.

What's up Handsome. That's ok about The Emotions. Now I remember that I found out about Jeanette's departure from the liner notes of the Emotions Cronicle cd. I'm gald that you bought up 'To Be Young, Gifted & Black'. I wasn't even aware that Donny Hathaway recorded that song. I'm only familiar with Nina & Aretha's versions. Nina's original is great but Aretha (with lot's of help from The Sweets as usual) took that song and made it her own. One of my all-time favorites by The Queen. Manny, The Blossoms also recorded "Grandma's Hands' on their Shockwave LP in the early 70's and Samantha Sang & Laura Nyro also had versions of 'La La Means I Love'. Samantha Sang's reading is probably my favorite version of the song. You should check it out. Here's a few more: 'Day Tripper' - The Beatles, The Vontastics, Big Dee Irwin & Mamie Galore 'Hard To Handle' - Otis Redding, Patti Drew, Mae West, Black Crows 'Breakfast In Bed' - Dusty Springfield, Baby Washington (I'm not sure who did this song first but Baby Washington's version puts Dusty's to shame!) | ||

Hi Rodman, King Floyd did a great version of "Hard To Handle" on his ATCO LP. Seeing the Beatles, does anybody know Phil Flowers' version of "I Saw Her Standing There" ? It's on his great LP "Our Man In Washington", where he also covers "Try A Little Tenderness", "Mr Pitiful", and "The Great Pretender". I discovered this LP (and a few more, like Bennie Conn) thanks to In The Basement. | ||

Thanks Phil. I knew that there had to be other versions of 'Hard To Handle' recorded but I've only heard the versions I listed. I love that song! My favorites are of course Otis' excellent original and Patti Drew's kick azz remake! Both versions deserved to be much bigger hits than they were! By the way, Judy Clay also recorded 'Mister Pitiful' as 'Sister Pitiful'. It's included on the "Atlantic Sisters Of Soul" compilation. I'm not impressed with this version at all. I don't think that anyone could come close to Otis' original. The arrangement of 'Sister Pitiful' is lackluster and Judy Clay is worthy of much much more. | ||

Hello again, Pazant Brothers & Clark Sisters! Hi, Rodmann, Thanks for your extensive info. I can imagine how poetic should to be the "La-La Means" in the voice of Laura...! The one by Livingston Taylor ("Grandma's Hands") I mentioned it's the only I got by this group and is very gospel and higly recomended. I got in a 2 x CD of the Chesky Records 10th Anniversary. Hi, Here I Am, The one by Sonia it's by reagge singer Sonia? I read she recorded a whole CD of Philly classics. It's interesting that you tolds about "Trade winds", this is one of my faves of all the Lou Rawls PIR period. Another fantastic cover: "Visions" by Stevie Wonder, was covered by a genial trumpeter, Luis Gasca. Peace & Soul Food! | ||

hi manny....yes the Three Degrees were the first who recorded "TRADE WINDS" in 1970 for the New York based Roulette label, they had a R&B hit with it in 72, and it's featured on the "Roulette years " cd I knew that a reggae artist recorded"W W I S Y A", but the girl that i mean is a UK pop singer on the PWL label....she recorded a wholme Philly album in the 90' , very difficult to find.... | ||

Hi Mark, It is that bad!!! It's not done in his usual comedy singing style. I have to say that I loved Bills' 70s singing LPs. I'll also tell you this: You ain't lived until you've heard Bill scream through Satisfaction & Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band!!! By the way, the songs that I've mentioned are from Bills LP, Bill Cosby Sings Hooray For Ths Salvation Army Band on Warner/Reprise records. His backing band is none other than The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band!!! Express Yourself Bill!! Handsome: You must add James Carr to the list of The Dark End Of The Street. Many Soul fans consider His recording to be one of the finest in Soul history. (Message edited by juicefree20 on August 14, 2004) | ||

Mark Speck (mark_speck) 4-Laureate Username: mark_speck Post Number: 130 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 63.188.136.156 |
Yep, Tom sure did a version of "Hard to Handle"...it's on one of his live LPs from the early '70s (isn't it nice to have a big TJ fan on this list? ;)). As a matter of fact, if you chance to see the track listings on some of Jones's albums, you'll note that he did quite a few soul covers (hell, if you had the voice he has, wouldn't you attempt those songs as well?). Jimmy--I did get to hear Cos's version of "Satisfaction". My friend Darryl has the album (the only time I've ever seen that album, BTW), and one night we were over his house, drunk and stoned and going through his record collection when I happened upon that record and asked him to play it as I had to hear it to believe it! "I Can't Wait to See My Baby's Face"--also by Pat Thomas, our very own Spyder Turner, and also the Monticellos (I believe you had something to do with this version as well, Spyder?). Best, Mark | ||

Hey Mark. Tom Jones does have a great voice but his material is way too "Vegas" for my tastes. If he recorded his version of 'Hard To Handle' in a stripped down Soul style than maybe I might enjoy it. I've already mentioned 'I Can't Wait To See My Baby's Face' twice in this thread. I listed several different versions including the ones you listed, except for the Pat Thomas remake. I'm not sure who exactly Pat Thomas is? I also had no idea that Spyder Turner was involved in The Monticellos version. That's interesting. It's a great tune and my favorites so far have been the hit version by Baby Washington and the late 60's remake by Sonji Clay (first wife of Muhammad Ali). Isn't Baby Washington's record the original? | ||

Handsome, James Carr is considered as great as Otis Redding by the Southern soul lovers, as O.V. Wright or Spencer Wiggins. And if you want to know everything about him, just read Peter Guralnick's "Sweet Soul Music". One of the best book on the subject ! | ||

Handsome, EVERYTHING that James Carr has ever done is now available on CD, thanks to the fine folks at Ace/Kent over in the UK. Even if you can't get your hands on one of those CDs, a guy named Rune Blomquist has a site with a ton of RAs on James and other Southern soulers. Can't remember the URL at hand, but I'll post it for you once I do. Best, Mark | ||

Sorry to say this, but I won't recommend it ! It has very poor sound recording, and a pitiful performance from James. What a shame ! | ||

Rod--Pat Thomas was a jazz/pop singer, who had a mid-'60s hit with "Desafinado". I think her version of "I Can't Wait..." was on the flip side of the single (on Verve). "Just Like a Woman"--also done by Manfred Mann "Cheaper to Keep Her"--also done by John Goodman in the "Blues Brothers 2000" movie And since Dylan was brought up: "Like a Rolling Stone"--Bob Dylan, the Turtles, the Young Rascals and the Four Seasons.

Yes, Andy Williams did "Tell It Like It Is". I like the English Beat's remake of "Can't Get Used To Losing You". Add Jimi Hendrix to "Like A Rolling Stone" (Monterey Festival 1967) "Yesterday" (Lennon/McCartney) is the most covered song in history. I think I read somewhere that "Something" (Harrison) was third. I know it's in the top ten. | ||

No, Charise, I can't say that I have. Knowing George, I bet it's probably worth hearing. Speaking of Benson, one of the oddest things I ever heard was his version of the David Houston country hit "My Woman's Good to Me". This was probably one of George's first vocals (from 1969) and is an interesting reconstruction of a country classic. It's gotten a lot of attention from the Northern soul crowd in the UK.

Mark Yes it is worth hearing!!! I remember that album was played frequently in my household, by both parents. I'm surprised that you brought up My Woman's Good To Me, from the same album, a favorite of my mother's. I have never heard the country version...hmmmm BTW this album is one you rarely here about, but it is called Tell It Like It Is recorded on A&M in 1969. The whole album IMO is very good!! Soul Limbo Are You Happy Tell It Like It Is Land of 1000 Dances Jackie, All Don't Cha Hear Me Callin' Water Brother My Woman's Good To Me Jama Joe My Cherie Amour Out In The Cold Again Mostly instrumental except for 3 or 4 songs. Pick it up if you get the chance. | ||

Also "Star Of The Story" done by Heatwave, was also done by George Benson, two very nice versions. Benson's version from the Give Me The Night album Warner Bros. 1980. Killer guitar licks on that one! P.S. almost forgot another version by an artist named Grenique on the Motown label about 5 or 6 years ago, I thought she had a promising career, in the vein of a Jill Scott or Erykah Badu. Her's is another excellent version! | ||
