Hello.

I'm trying to get hold of a recording of the song "Oh Yea", "Oh Yeah" by Mark Gaillard released in 1979.

It's nowhere to be found. The Rolling Stones plagiarized a snippet of this song to release "Saint Of Me" in 1998.

They paid Mark Gaillard money for the plagiarism. Nothing is known about the case.

Does anyone know where I can find the original song from 1979?

It is nowhere to be found. He mysteriously disappeared.

Thank you.

This one?

Hello Amsterdam Ruso.

That's the reissued version from 1996.

The original is from 1979.

In 1995 the song was rewritten and recorded in 1996.

I'm looking for the original song from 1979.

No help on finding a 1979 recording but there's a long & interesting interview he did up on the net ...

He's Slim Gaillard's son, his sister Janis married Marvin Gaye (Mark spent years hanging out / working in Marvin's recording studio) ..  his dad & MPG are the guys referred to in this extract from the interview ...  Mark & his wife (who wrote lots together) divorced years ago.

He / they wrote loads of songs that are registered with BMI ...  are you sure that he actually recorded the song in 79 and didn't just write it then.

Keep in mind that the original song "Oh Yeah" was rewritten, recorded in 1995 and recorded a year later, in 1996, with a sound engineer whose name is John Bernard. Coincidentally, this sound engineer who worked on the recording of Mark Gaillard's song "Oh Yeah" later worked on the recording of the album Bridges To Babilon released by The Rolling Stones in 1997.

No hubo ayuda para encontrar una grabación de 1979, pero hay una entrevista larga e interesante que hizo en la red...

Es el hijo de Slim Gaillard, su hermana Janis se casó con Marvin Gaye (Mark pasó años trabajando en el estudio de grabación de Marvin)... su padre y MPG son los tipos a los que se hace referencia en este extracto de la entrevista... Mark y su esposa (que escribieron mucho juntos) se divorciaron hace años.

Él/ellos escribieron un montón de canciones que están registradas en BMI... ¿estás seguro de que en realidad grabó la canción en el 79 y no la escribió simplemente en ese momento?
