Guest Spain pete Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Recently played Debbie Taylor's l don't wanna leave you . it's got that great little bit in it that sounds like a Lamont Dozier influence ( why can't we be lovers ) , always found it fascinating that some artists pick up on other acts that are around at the time , without having any connection , ANY MORE SPRING TO MIND ?🎶 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Velvet's "Bet You If You Ask Around" sounds an awful lot like the Quadrophonics' "Betcha If You Check It Out". 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The Ambassadors "Too Much Of A Good Thing" and Danny Monday "Baby Without You" The Temptones- "Girl I Love You" and The Ringleaders "Baby What Has Happened To Our Love" Just noticed Velvet and The Quads have the same writers and producers so I think they just changed the lyrics. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Ambassadors with Danny Monday with the horns build-up and the Temptones and the Ringleaders for guitar 1/2 tempo riff and echoey overall groove sound but for the rest... more like a common "feature". Coincidence IMO more than "reference". One that grows on me lately is the Fabulous Peps 'love of my life' = Marvin's 'I'll be doggone'. Cliché and nonchalant but it "sticks like glue".

Guest Spain pete Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 5 minutes ago, local said: Written on the wall - Invitations Mr Moonlight - Lenny O’Henry both have Bob Crewe involvement as a producer and writer on Lenny and as co writer on the Invations. It says connectionless 😂🎶 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Local Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Try again, Skip Cunningham - Have we met before - sounds a a lot like Deon Jackson - Love makes the world. Dont think there’s any connection but if there is I’m sure we will here about it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Royal Jesters - 'Lady Sunshine' (Optimum) fairly similar to Main Change - Sunshine is Her Way. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 ** Arthur Conley- "Sweet Soul Music" sounds like Sam Cooke's "Yeah Man" ** Christine Cooper- "Heartaches Away" has a strong Supremes feel - lots of "Back In My Arms Again" ** Tina Britt's "The Real Thing" obviously influenced by the Vandellas' "Heatwave" ** Richie Adams "I Can't Escape From You" influenced by Marvin's "Ain't That Peculiar" ** not sure if these are "common features" or "coincidences" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tlscapital Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 They are upgraded "copycats" (but for the Tina Britt that I never really liked and always prefered the Chiffons) and definitely much more than coincidence or "common features" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Every time I hear "She Calls Me Baby" by J. Kelly & The Premiers remind me on "Oh Baby, Baby" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
