I'M WITH YOU ON THIS ONE CHALKY!! NICE VERSION BUT IMHO NOT THE BEST!!! I THINK IT IS BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS I STARTED THIS TOPIC WITH AND IT'S A CLOSE CALL BUT MY PERSONAL CHOICE IS THE 'B' SIDE TO THE PROFESSIONALS WHOEVER IT IS THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL CHOICE REMEMBER ONE MAN'S MEAT IS ANOTHER MAN'S POISON

As Stated in the early thread I like both but the take on the 'b' side of the professionals is the better !! imho play them back to back and see for yourself it's just got something more about it a better dance tune not just my view but quite a few peoples !! atb John.

THIS WAS THE REPLY FROM CHALKY: Hi John ..all above is correct , when i was in Detroit a few yrs ago i was with Joe pep Harris from Unisputed truth and Fabulous Peps and we was in a bar for Joe Hunters ( Funk brothers awake ) in the bar there was loads of singers Joe pointed some out to me which i already met and knew , he then pointed at this guy at the bar and asked if i knew him I said NO .. thats steve Calloway from The Professinals . get him over i said as he walked over ..i started to sing " That's why i love you " he said hey how you now that ..i then explained , I Have became a great friend to steve over the yrs , when me and joe refomed the Fabulous peps to come over in 2008 two of the original peps due to health reason didnt come ..we decided to replace one with Steve .. he came over and for the live show we put in That's why i love you ( Check it out on you tube ) , last yr i brought steve ( solo) back over to do a grovesville review ..we did do Did my Baby call in the show , what steve tells me ... He never seen a copy of the groovecity 45 although he was often told they got a 45 out , Blue max showed him his copy when he was over first with the peps , he tells me it was along long time ago and recalls Don davis getting in touch and going into the stuido and they done a few takes of Thats why i love you , they never recorded Did my Baby call .. it was a early take ..if i recall right by Steve Mancha , although they allowed Don to use the Name The Professinals , I also think this is the best version . Hopefully I'm bring steve Back over oct or Dec ..feel free to contact me and speak to him , Hope this helps Chalky

I have pm'd him I hope he doesn't mind!!

CHEERS TED !! ATB JOHN

I HAVE ALWAYS RATED THE PROFESSIONAL "B" SIDE TO "THATS WHY I LOVE YOU" AS A TOP TUNE!! THERE VERSION OF "DID MY BABY CALL" REALLY HITS THE SPOT FOR ME EVEN THOUGH I LIKE STEVE MANCHA'S VERSION, BUT SURPRISE SURPRISE !!! I WAS INFORMED FROM A GOOD SOURCE THAT IT IS NOT THE PROFESSIONALS BUT ANOTHER TAKE FROM STEVE MANCHA AND ALSO THAT THE PROFESSIONALS DID NOT KNOW THAT "THATS WHY I LOVE YOU" HAD EVER BEEN RELEASED!! CAN ANYONE CONFIRM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS TRUE??
