Heard this recently and wondered what the title and male singer were if anyone can help.  It starts off Whoa Baby Don't Cha, Whoa Baby Don't Cha Weep No More For Me Pretty Baby. Also label and current price as I would like one if anyone has it for sale.  Thanks, T Bone .

Those lyrics are probably something else thinking about it a bit more....

Yep right there, defo not Edward Hamilton which I have. This kicks off with them lyrics, no musical intro and in there are also the lyrics 'I'm headin' in the wrong direction' and 'you know I'm coming on home'.  Anyone please??

Luther ingram and Fred bridges.

A record I used to travel 400 miles to hear. Pre internet. 

I've always liked Robert Bateman's Correc-Tone' recorded version better.  Although Bateman did good jobs also with both Luther Ingram and Wilson Pickett.  The former sounds more like a Motown recording than the other two.  I assume that he had the Ingram version recorded in New York, probably using Richard T's band.  It sounds like Bridges' version was recorded in Correc-Tone's studio, with the usual Motown session players.  The vocals are all good.
