Not modern but don't forget Lou Johnson...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTgcRG7LEKM

I had forgotten Lou's version - everything he did is tremendous! Though nothing (literally, nothing) betters "Reach out for me" - for me...

 

I'm very well thank you Peter - how are you?

 

 

I'm very well thank you Peter - how are you?

I'm pleased to hear you are well Rich.

 

I'm ok thanks - started trying to get fit again. I began cycling again in the last few weeks - I have been down the canal, across the field next to the wood yard and down the lane as part of my circle.  I think of you as I'm on the lane.

 

Take care buddy.

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles version is absolutely delicious....from their " Away we a go go " LP

The Brenda and the Tabulations version is also worth a listen:

I had  the AWB cover  - still thinks its one of the best versions.

 

The Dells. End of discussion.

Got to say I like the Isaac Hayes version

I quite liked Gabrielle's version

Forgot to mention Aretha's version.  Same backing as Dionne's?  Got it on an old UK CBS LP somewhere.

 

Also Mitch Ryder on the Sock it too me LP.  Pretty good if you like Mitch's voice.   Sorry no idea how to post them up.

 

For me Dionne Warwick is the number 1.  One of the greatest record's ever made.  2nd would be Lou Johnson and then Aretha, although I like em all posted above.  Such a great song.

Love Dionne's later version from "Dionne Sings Dionne" 98 CD
