Scootboy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Howard Guyton does it better for me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Modularman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Howard Guyton for me too, a much more interesting arrangement IMO 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Missing Link Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 They're both great versions but I think the slightly slower tempo of Howard Guyton suits the song better. Teddy Randazzo's arrangement and production is also superior. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bbrich Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I like the faster Lou version, the way he belts the song out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Can only be Howard Guyton for me. So many memories. Remember it costing me £30 for a water damaged label verve issue. Steve 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wicked Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Gotta be Howard. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John A Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Apart from the title line, they're not even the same song.. but side by side then Howard is miles better. Edited November 1, 2018 by John A Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul16 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Howard Guyton is the better version I reckon. Great intro, great vocals and an instrumental break that pins you to the wall. Even the sound quality on the 45 is top notch. A true Northern belter if ever there was one. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Davenpete Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I watched you SLOWLY slip away belted out is a bit of an oxymoron to me - Howard Guyton all the way. Dx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
