Guest Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Stevie Wonders 'Uptight' is a classic but Richie Browns version on Hit is rather good if not better. Incidentally, the Bside has yet another version of 'California Dreaming' by the Jalopy Five..sounds ok though. Sorry, can't do sound clips, unfortunately.... stix Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

One of my favourite records, period. Al sings it like a man who has just won the lottery and who gets hot wild crazy sex from Beyonce, five times a day, into the bargain... Most of the other allegedly'better versions' that have been posted up here so far are complete pants though, and not fit to line a birdcage in comparison with the originals...
