Network TV sucks most of the time, so I tune into [Netflix] most of the time , and some of the series are pretty good.

Down through the years there have been remakes of classic songs of course, some are good some not. what are some of your favorites redone? for me......[ On Broadway- George Benson remake of the classic Drifters hit]....[ I'll Try Something New- A Taste Of Honey a nice spin on The Miracles classic]....[ Fever- Bobby Blue Bland very nice tribute to Little Willie John]....[ Summertime- Billy Stewart nailed it on his now famous rendition of the classic standard ] what do you like that's been...redone?

Didn't Tommy Tate record the very underrated [School Of Life] in the Seventies?

Just wondering, because it didn't do much in the States and it's my favorite from The Major[and his last recording on the Okeh label] just wondering?

Yes, Eddie returned to his Gospel root some years back, but his voice is still ass good as back in the day.

One of the greatest soulmen ever, his[Wand]recordings are legendary...R.I.P.

Great classic.

For me,the Chi-Lites version is the definitive one.

We all get old,and the sad thing is that our bodies and voices in most cases get old too,for singers we too often only remember them as they were as some hold up well vocally but some don't and that's sad when they don't realize it,like anything else in life we have to adjust and some artist just don't.

Great question...music is a time capsule for we can all remember where we were,and what we were doing when our favorite song came out...for me it's the flute of[Herbie Mann]the eternal trumpet of[Miles]the too soothing guitar of[Wes],the five part harmonies of the Temptin Temptations-the sweet raw soul of Etta James and Aretha-the too smooth interplay of lyrics of Smokey-the funk of James Brown-the sweet sexy Mary Wells-the beauty of high pitched harmony from The Impressions-Minnie Riperton taking us on notes so high we may never come down-the comedic Coasters keeping us laughing and dancing-the smooth but powerful soul of Marvin Gaye-a love message from Barry White-the southern soul funk of Al Green-the always hip O'Jays..music can take you anywhere you wanna go without actually going anywhere!

When preparing to leave my favorite record store some years ago,I looked down and on the floor sat the one gem I had been searching for over twenty years[Neverending Impressions]in mint condition,I didn't know whether to laugh or cry with joy so I just swooped up this gem and smiled all the way home with what I call The Impressions best LP,and it's in my collection.

Two of the best are-prove it[aretha]-i can't find[smokey].

My Summer Love-Ruby An The Romantics-an absolute gem.

Thanks Robb,your word is law!!

If there's a copy of it on the[Chess]lable it could be,but there may be copies on the[Tamla]lable.
