Open The Door To Your Heart - How Many Versions?


Recommended Posts


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?

Little Milton

Betty Wright

Freddie Scott did a good version on a Shout (UK Joy) LP. I don't think any version touches Darrel's original, but Freddie's version must be one of the better covers of it.

Rarest by a mile in my box is the California Malibu's version, this one doesn't seem known at all, it's damn good too, sorry no good at putting up soundfiles before anyone asks

Also into Major Burkes on Gulf, same tune but totally changes the lyrics, it's total class, see there's one on ebay with a soundfile for those who haven't heard this one

been including Major Burkes and the Capitols in most of my spots since a year or so ( not both during the same night/spo of course LOL!). Always someone there who comes up to ask who this or tht version was by. Obviously I cant seem to get enough of this essential Soul tune!

Vikki Styles is a great version too!

Amen Corner?

You're not getting mixed up with "Our Love Is In The Pocket" are you? Things are gonna get really confusing if so...

Will try and remember to check out the label but funnily the California Malibu's weren't from California, Midwest group I think but can't remember where, either Boba can do his usual memory magic and remind me or I'll have to dig through the boxes, none on google/popsike/etc or would do it the lazy way!
