Songs That Use Same Arrangement /backing Track

Posted

Okay folks,

Don't know if this has been done before.

Just been listening to The Trips There's that mountain & it's quite obviously the same track/arrangement as Richard Temple's That Beatin' Rhythm.

Must be loads of others like this given the way the studios were set up.

Anymore anyone?

p.s., did i imagine it, or did someone one tell me Richard Temple was in fact one Willie Hutch no less?.........or did I dream it?

    Detroit bg tracks bounced around that city quite a bit during the 1960s.  Stewart Ames' J&W cut was first, and likely was originally recorded with Ed Wingate's money.  Jock Mitchell worked with Ha

Did the backing from Bert Keyes "Do-Do Do Bah-Ah" on Clock have a proper vocal release?

The only other version I know of is this instrumental

    They're fairly obvious but not mentioned - September Jones and Billy Sha Rae.

     

    Plus Jesse Johnson's 'Left Out'  and 'Outcast' by Eddie & Ernie - practically the same song!

     

    Plus of course Rodd Keith's numerous recordings using the same or very similar backing tracks.

     

    Another pair that always struck me as having something weirdly in common - even though they're very different tempos, productions etc are the Ad Libs 'Johnny My Boy' and Cody Black's 'Slowly Molding' - imagine the snappy percussion of Cody Black laid over the top of Ad Libs.

    I have no idea,sorry,the only information that i could find is from the northernsouldirect site

     

    They say:

     

    This is a collector special Just 500 copies have been manufactured on a "white demo" replica of the Detroit HIB label. Inferno are keeping quiet about the identity of the artist, and these copies just credit it to The Illusions. Future pressings will reveal the full information about who has written, produced and sung the track -- so these first 500 are sure to be in-demand collectors’ items. Grab 'em while you can.

     

    The backing track is sampled from Luther Ingram Orchestra's "Exus Trek", one of the truly great Northern Soul instrumentals. Inferno own the master recording and the HIB label which "Exus Trek" was released on  - by arrangement with Detroit producer Robert Bateman - and have come up with a brilliant female vocal on an infectiously catchy new song with sing-along chorus which caused mayhem on Rare Soul dance floors.

     

    The single itself plays loud and clear,it is an excellent recording

    I was going to say.......never heard this before. Now I know why!

     

    If the illusionary illusions are a hit, the floodgates will open to every decent instrumental that's had a half decent vocal ( or several) made around the same time, being sampled and recreated.

     

    Not sure the purists will buy into this new trend any more than any other tailor made effort past or present.

     

    A bit like karaoke really with great singers!

     

    Purists and anything goes cannot be put in the same sentence...apart from this one:)

    Prepare yourself for this one, definitely NOT for the faint hearted. Play it through to the end, i'm sure even though it is truly Awful it SHOULD make you smile, Just don't shoot the messenger.....  🙄

    The one that immediately springs to mind is Brenda Holloway's - We'll Keep On Rolling, and Larry Atkins - Ain't That Love Enough.

    Yes.  But the owner who produced the original recording session, Dave Hamilton, said he knew nothing about Maurci, and didn't lease the tracks to anyone.  Maurci was owned by Gene Chandler and Symtec Simmons.  There's no evidence of any Detroit names on Maurci.  All the rest of their releases recordings (Five Jades, etc., and even the other Monique cuts) sound like Chicago.  So no way to find the connection there.  

    Sorry for the misinformation, of course, Maurice Jackson owned Maurci Records, with Simmons and Chandler only working for him )despite rumours that Chandler was a part owner.
