January 27, 20178 yr 5 hours ago, John Reed said: Jimmy Elledge on Song Bird which is the best imo.. brilliant track :-))
January 27, 20178 yr George Soule also recorded it, albeit just as a demo, and not released until CD a few years back. Suppose that's the first.
January 27, 20178 yr I only heard the Temps version a few months ago and it blew me away, the only version what seems to have deviated from the others. It took. me a while to realize it was the same song.

It took. me a while to realize it was the same song. I heard it a couple of years ago. The whole album seemed to have slipped under the radar I completely missed it at the time of it's release. Kev
January 27, 20178 yr Author Carl Carlton's was the first version I ever heard and bought as a new release and I always thought that to be the first.
January 27, 20178 yr To the original question,"How many versions issued 7 ,unless you know different? "Which came 1st " ? Well this is the correct order according to Chris Tarrant! Wilson Pickett= 1970 Atlantic unreleased ,til later "Soul Brothers Unearthed lp Reuben Howell =1973 Motown single /beside Carl Carlton=1973 ABC/single Bobby Womack 1973 Facts of Life Lap Supremes = 1975 Lp Temptations=1975 ,House party Lap Jimmy Ellidge 1975 /bside 12inch single Most popular in popularity stakes and price Rub'ys slice of Sunshine pop/ country .In Manny,s primero price guide in 2001 it was £15 16 years later ,RNS,Discogs,eBay etc have it at £250. LOL Johnny.
