Craig W Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Just been sorting through a few records and played this. What are the origins of this and who are the vocals actually by and when and where was it actually recorded? Besides this , Festival time and To win your heart are there any other versions.

What are the origins of this and who are the vocals actually by and when and where was it actually recorded? Besides this , Festival time and To win your heart are there any other versions. I remember when we were school kids and first heard "To Win Your Heart". For a while we had to refer to it as "Festival Time With Words" because we didn't know who it was. Those were the days.

Guest Paul Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hello Craig, I'd say the origins are "dubious" to say the least. The vocal doesn't seem to fit right. And the lyrics are dreadful. And the singer probably works in a call centre in Stoke-On-Trent or somewhere. Apart from that, I think it's very extremely fabulous.

Paul Mooney Whats wrong with the lyrics "Stevie Wonder and his Fingertips , James Brown with those Motown licks" Absolute classic lines And another thing there are no call centres in Stoke on Trent now , they are all in India.

Guest Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think it turned up on one of those "Soul Supply" double albums too. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
grant Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 It is on a CD Golden Northern Soul or something double CD. I quite like the version but have never heard it played out even at the Csino, always thought it was one of those dubbed versions that sort of appeared recently - so has this ever been on vinyl?
