Open The Door To Your Heart - How Many Versions?

Posted

Since I first heard Darrell Banks', "Open the Door to Your Heart" this has been a favourite tune. Apart from Darrell's unsurpassable version I have heard it done by:

Jackie Wilson

Doni Burdick

The Mob

The Capitols

Sonny Munroe

Little Willie G

Can anyone add to the list?

    Chris Farlowe on Immediate L.P., can't remember title, not very good either.

    The Chris Farlowe version was, I think, on an Immediate album called "The Art of Chris Farlowe"

Think I read even Major Burkes himself doesn't have the PS. Have that Slam Creepers version somewhere, don't remember it being good enough to consider it playing out

Here come two useless answers, there's one on a Stax LP might be Little Milton, the other is an uptempo version on Shiptown but I forgot who it's by!

Art Ensley - Great version!

All the best,

Len.

Major Burkes is a rare record, even rarer with the picture sleeve :thumbsup:

Des Parker

Good call Des, and while we are at it...the other Major Burkes "You`re Gonna Need Me" is almost as good as this. PLUS both deliver two fantstic Deep flipsides!

joe e young and the toniks.:thumbsup:
