Sometimes i wonder why what prices John gets on his auction site is even talked about.We all know that if someone put the self same records on here in the same condition they would not sell for any thing like his prices.
You are right,this not the Funk Bros.They are west coast musicians,this why when it was first played and coverd up no one new who it was. If was the Funk Bros,people would have recognised that it was a Motown recording.
Thanks for the reply,i don't have the CD but the strings were a big giveaway.Does it say who the female backing singers are? Could it possibly be Darlene Love and The Blossoms?
I know this is a 64 unreleased recording for minit but can anyone tell me if this was a New Orleans recording or not as it doe's not seem to have the usual trade marks of New Orleans.
I am not suprised,Paul Williams on lead and defo the same musicians on both tracks.I wonder if Joe Hunter is playing on them as he was with motown until mid 63.
Wonderful piece of history,proving The Temptations were the best with or without David Ruffin.It so sad that Paul Williams was pushed to the background once David Ruffin joined them.
When listening to The Temptations I know i'm loosing you and The Parliaments I wanna Testify, i have to ask myself how on earth did The Parliaments get way with it without Motown intervening?
