Tobytyke Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 "you put something on me" one of the first and greatest soul record i ever heard on the midnight soul lp belonging to a girlfriends older brother. Don Covay must have been Mick Jaggers idol cause he doesnt half try to sound like him. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pogo paul Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So many great records, a true legend! RIP Don. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kev Cane Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Mentioned a few years back on here about Mick Jagger's "coincidental" similar sound and phrasing to Don Covay, Don was a true "Super Dude" and "Somebody's been enjoying my home" "She was checkin out" "Leave him 1&2" are true legendary records, as good as anything IMHO that you will ever hear RIP Don and thanks for sharing your talent Kev 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Geoff Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just read this, sorry to hear about his death. One of soul music's greats. He started recording in the 50s, wrote Pony Time, later a hit for Chubby Checker, Letter Full Of Tears for Gladys Knight among other songs, but found his own unique style in the mid 60s on Atlantic. Used to hear plenty of his records in clubs at that time, See Saw was my favourite by him then. His LP in the early 70s, Super Dude is worth checking out. Somebody's Been Enjoying My Home is a fantastic track imo RIP Don.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Labeat Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 See Saw was his most memorable song but for me "Iron out the rough spots" is my favourite, best ten quid i ever spent. Sing all your songs in heaven now Don.... S.I.P... Sing in peace Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
