grantdyche Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I really like their " City Life ", sounds great played loud in a venue. Not to be confused with Buddy Holly frontman Jerry Naylor's popular classic "City Lights". if you dont know it dont go expecting the next great sound, just a good little track, £20 not £200 might be a clue. (p.s. I've always wondered if they were the same group?) btw having spent my life totally avoiding pop music, and every other form of music that wasn't soul, n/s, etc. I had no idea that all these other versions existed, and I'd like to say thanks, for nothing, for wasting my life listening to tracy ullman, kylie,etc. my wife looking over my shoulder while I was typing this, reckons one time big time, ex scottish now americanised, singer Sheena Easton covered a soul classic, anybody else remember what it was? Just been through youtube and the only thing I can find is this very poor version of Martha Reeves Dont blame me I don't normally do requests Grant Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mick Holdsworth Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 our love is in the pocket/i dont want to disscusit- amen corner i think, i,ll have to into the garage to search for the derham lp Its not on derham its on immediate. They're on both Deram and Immediate --- Studio versions on Deram and Live versions on Immediate I actually liked the Live version of "Our Love" , but the Studio version wasn't up to much.

Guest Brian Ellis Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Than Duffy attempting to sing "Stay With Me Baby"? I mean, it is like me attempting to sing like Pavarotti. And to think that not so very long ago there were loads on here arguing that Duffy was a Soul singer after the release of the dreadful 'Mercy' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Duffy singing anything is painful!! She seems to have started this horrible warbling thing on everything she sings and watching her makes me cringe because of that TOP FUCKING LIP. So I don't!!

Guest Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 What about Dave Berry's cover of Picture Me Gone, as much as I love the song, Dave kinda kills it for me. Also Vanilla Fudge's version of You Keep Me Hanging On, having said that, its good in a psychedelic kind of way Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ceejay Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Personally, I always hated Dancing A La Musique - French Fries Yes, the Sly & the Family Stone may have been on the commercial side, but it really is one of the best dance records ever!!!! It does actually make you wanna DANCE TO THE MUSIC!!!! One helluva stomper!!! AS THE WORDS SAY " GET ON UP AND DANCE TO THE MUSIC!!!"
