Ahh right thanks for the reply.

Thanks to Hadyn Bye, who couldn`t post due to work restrictions. It`s the Manhattens-That New girl-Carnival.

Same song but completely different vocal , a solo with backing on the "unknown" rather than a group harmony ... ?

Not to mention the different tempo.

The demo record was made in a Cleveland, Ohio studio.  The Manhattans version was written by Carnival Records' owner, so I assume that that was the original.  I assume this Ohio version was a remake.  It's pretty nice, with a nice vocal and nice guitar.  I'd like to hear a group behind him.  There may have been a background group on another track.  I don't remember ever seeing a remake of this song.

Nice article about Mr Boddie here ... https://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/11/pioneering_boddie_recording_co.html

Can we hear the other cuts in that set somewhere?  "That New Girl is really good.  I wonder if the others are the same artist, or others.

The full playlist is there in plain view on the right hand side ....
