Absolutely fantastic!

Along with 'Leaving Here' (another Holland,Dozier,Holland tune) It's one of my all time favourite songs. There are not many versions that I don't like (not too keen on Stevie Wonder's version) including these

The Band

I've been asked dj at a girl group / femme soul weekender next year. This will probaby make its way onto the decks.

I also have this version. It was on his Greatest Hits LP in mono that pre-dates 'I heard it through the grapevine'.

Took me ages - weeks and months - to decide whether to buy that or a Jimi Hendrix singles collection. Recorded music was seriously expensive in the sixties. Marvin Gaye won because it was more in context with other records I owned.

Liked this track. Similar to 'Can I get a witness?'

Very similar indeed. When I first heard 'Can I Get a Witness?' I wondered if he was a rugby league fan. It was the only reason that I could think of for Marvyn wanting to go to Widnes. ;-/

Fairly cheap Lee - 'bout £25 I reckon - Got mine in states for 10$ many moons back. Will have a look for you.

One For Bop · 2012-08-09 13:36:44

is this cooool?

jesmond · 2012-08-09 13:41:09

Can't open?

Looks old and rare? Jazzy (?)

Yes, I'd've thought it a good bet (without seeing it)

One For Bop · 2012-08-09 13:42:45

try that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t35DQ9nZjZU

One For Bop · 2012-08-09 13:44:39

It's important we gain our self-worth through the efforts of others. How else can you guarantee neurotic levels of self-denial at your own short comings. Than by masking them with the talents of others.

jesmond · 2012-08-09 13:45:24

I'd have to be in the mood..

It wouldn't be very often, if I'm honest.

Liam Mac · 2012-08-09 15:28:46

Is this cool?

One For Bop · 2012-08-09 15:35:52

my type of cool, in that none of them are actually cool, apart from maybe Dennis, no, second thoughts he was just a fuck head.

steve mcqueen fan · 2012-08-09 16:00:42

Although he didn't make hoho imo's list, Dennis is in my top 5 of all time.

Watching that video and looking at their trousers, and in particular, Mike Loves' ass, I'm thinking maybe there is such a thing as too high a rise.

One For Bop · 2012-08-09 16:13:47

lol

Liam Mac · 2012-08-09 16:41:25

Absolutely in my top 5 too. Even looking completely gormless he has a charm. Den was cool and made up for the rest of the band being square as hell.

steve mcqueen fan · 2012-08-09 16:53:46

He can even play this off without looking like a douche. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbpMXA5bBzc

Liam Mac · 2012-08-09 17:08:26

Well Mike Douglas got his wish and Kaye Stevens definitely wanted a slice of Den.

Cheers.

Not the original vinyl version I know but I managed to get a digital download of it along with a couple of other tunes by them that are included on a Patti Drew compilation.

This one's perfect for the warm weather. Nice little latin feel in the middle.

Also a recent reworking by Incognito.

Prefer the Queen Yahna version myself.

Here's hoping that I don't put the mockers on the weather...
