I was sat with my new friend in Blackpool Towers, who knows much more than me (most do)

He asked me if I knew about this record and laughed saying ask the site and see if they know ?

I had just picked up a copy of Shirley (always loved) and had no idea of this crass record (IMO)(he likes it !!!!)

He said the "Mighty Two is a reference to well known people on the scene Steve Underwood and New York is funny too."

I am intrigued and if it has been covered before please direct me

Here we go

 

Muck Fe! Who knocked that up! Woss than the champion vocal. 

Never liked Shirley's original of 'soul time' but this dreadfull thing is indeed very repulsive to say the least...

Each to their own, I suppose, but that's way too weak for my liking. 

In fact, based on what I've just heard, I'm now impelled to consider this French 'cover version' in a much more positive light! 

 

The "Helene Furgerson sounds like it was recorded in an outside loo and the French version an inside loo both stink lol  , but what do I know

As they say "I've heard worse" and it looks like all the world on on the balcony!

I picked up this monstrosity years ago for about a quid because I hoped that the few tracks I wanted on CD were original recordings(Darrell Banks, Holidays etc) the rest obviously were Simon Soussan and others remakes. The one that I questioned was the Helena Ferguson. I didn't believe at the time it was genuine.

 

I only hope the Soul Fox didn't profit from my purchase!

Anyone got any ear bleach I can borrow? 

I'm sorry, that Helena Furguson is absolutely awful. had the singer heard the original before they recorded it?
