That's probably what I'm thinking of. Sometimes my brain works faster/slower than it should.

Hi Jez

I have a copy of the sight and Sound record which is an interesting version though I know nothing of the band or any of the members.

Couldn't replace the Detroit ones though. thumbsup.gif

Yes mate I haven't a clue about the sight and sound band meslf. Possibly a Liverpool group from the mid 60's but don't quote me on it

On the OTDTYH thingy--i was always a Darrell or Jackie fan--and had forgotten about Doni Burdick, but listening to Na Allen and especially the Little Willie G versions they run them pretty close rolleyes.gif

tell yer what Kev ,if all those posted are correct then 20 different versions of it must be some sort of record(scuse the pun) for a northern track :unsure:

Although someone is bound to come up with something to beat it :P

Top tune and deserves to be covered. By the way on the CD R&B of Donnie Elbert in the sleeve notes it does say that he wrote OTDTYH as well as Somebody Somewhere Needs You. Don't know if it's right or not.?????

Good ole Donnie hey . Wonder what link he had with darell and was darrells the first to be recorded :unsure: . Anyway without double checking I am sure on the UK stateside release of DB it says the title is 'Open the Door of your heart unsure.gif

I wonder if Donnie Elbert wrote it he also did a version that would be 21 :D:)
