Guest Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The one I have by Chuck Mangione is writed by Chuck himself and is from 1973. It seems as a live performance and I got it in the 2 x CD "Grass Roots" by Danny Krivit. Sorry but some time I have try to send a sound clip unfructuosly (I have a Mac and perhaps this is the problem). Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sorry but some time I have try to send a sound clip unfructuosly (I have a Mac and perhaps this is the problem). I have a Mac and use Firefox, it takes 15 mins to transfer files then submit. Funny I heard the Drifters first but prefer Leslies version. Edited September 16, 2007 by Prophonics 2026 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Geoff Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The first version I heard of this song was by Dionne Warwick, on her second LP issued in the UK in about 65 or 66. She may well be the original, as she worked so closely with Bacharach and David. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

She may well be the original, as she worked so closely with Bacharach and David. Dionne was these sessions and she can be heard on the flip Vaya Con Dios although it's the great voice of Cissy Houston that dominates. I'm not sure but I think they were still the Drinkard Singers at this time. Any way the result of the competition is that the operatic tenor calling and answering with Rudy Lewis is Johnny Moore. What A Voice!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Competition - Main vocals are Rudy Lewis BUT who is the Pavarotti soundalike? Had to paste this up a bit late. So Pavarotti knocks on the pearly gates. St Peter opens them and says 'oh it's you Luciano, come on in. Squeeze through'. Pavarotti says 'Hold on, I've got an envelope for you, it's from the Pope.' St Peter opens it up and reads it, and it says... 'Hi Pete, here's that tenor I owe you' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
