Donnie Elbert - Where Did Our Love Go

Assuming you mean non Motown-The Isley's-I Hear A Symphony being one of the best examples of other Motown versions of their songs,I have always liked Vanilla Fudge's rock version of You Keep Me Hanging On.

The best cover for a supremes track is half a ton of top soil IMHO

Are you serious Simon?

Undoubtedly the best is Jr Walker's Come see About Me, he takes it to another dimension. I also like Mitch Ryder's version and the Vanilla Fudge mentioned is brilliant too.

A bit camp like, but I do like Marlena Shaw "touch me in the morning"

Deadly serious Pete, you know i'm a big girl group fan, that is right up my street!

Can you find me a copy?

Me too, but none of 'em beat Nella Dodds!

I will agree 100% with you on this one, brill version of a Supremes record.

Also had a soft spot for Cartmel Stings back in the 70,s (not so sure now).

Think its s**t rare Simon. JM auctioned a copy, first he had seen, I was outbid, unfortunatly. Been looking ever since. If you follow this link https://www.garagehangover.com/?q=taxonomy/term/16/9

It will tell you all about it. backing is by an Ohio garage band the Vandaliers who were called in to cut the track. Further down the page you can get an MP3 of it. Best of luck. I think it's great, but then I LOVE girly mid-tempo stuff!

PS Sandy Chapin is not the same Sandy Chapin that was married to the crap singer/songwriter Harry Chapin. (Just to save you wasting all the time I did time on searches! )

Donnie Elbert - Where Did Our Love Go

Shocking version. Not quite as bad as the video.

But close.

That sounds like a 15 year old English girl singing. Maybe it is.

I was going to say that.

I probably will anyway.

A bit camp like, but I do like Marlena Shaw "touch me in the morning"

Disco sucks.

Talk about coincidences.

So she is a bit of a crap singer, not related to anyone.

But better than the original.

Is that an Oscar Wilde quote?.... if it aint, it should be!..... and if it's yours... brilliant!
