Used to play this over & over (Lakeside's hot remake of The Beatles tune) back in the 80's (on record player then) - gotta get another CD - hint - Tjanel...(other one got lost/stolen later on) - Lakeside - "Fantastic Voyage....LOVE IT !
Also if my memory serves me properly, the Beatles version was on the b side. I lost the record after a horrible tornado. But to this day I treasure that record very much.
Great song and video. In high school a boy I knew had a crush on me since sixth grade. Senior year he gave me this song( a 45 record)as a graduation present. We dated twice and have remained good friends all these years later.
My first rock and roll song was this song by the Beatles. I can remember the Ed Sullivan show and hearing this when I was six years old. When I heard this version it brought back such good memories of my Dad lying on the living room floor watching this. He was my age now. DANG!! Love both versions!!!
As much as I LOVE the Beatles, I NEVER liked this song by them. But Otis and Steven sung the hell out of this song, and I love the whole blues twist on this classic. Thank you for posting this groove, my most favorite of Lakeside's recordings.
Thanks to Lakeside and the Beatles; this song made her hold my hand am so grateful............Sing it with me Otis.........! .Well this kills it for me wish this generation will have time to sing such valuable and ethical tunes and dress like these fine brothers:I raise You !!!!
I saw this 45 in a little music shop when it first came out. Being a huge Beatles fan from the time they "invaded" America, I bought it without hearing a single note. Over the past 45+ years I have collected well over 1000 cover versions of Beatles material. In my opinion it is very difficult to use the soul/R&B treatment on a Beatles song, but Lakeside did just that and with brilliant results. This always ranks in my Top 10 favorites. Outstanding job!
You should never remake nor cover someone else's song ... UNLESS you can bring an entirely new musical perspective to it ... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED LAKESIDE ... !!!
This is what made the class of "77" so cool and messed up at the same time. We grew up listening to "good meaningful music" and in later adult years got caught up in the "gang" related music. Don't get me wrong, in both their own ways it was all good. But for us 1970 graduates.........we prefer OLD SCHOOL. It makes more sense and has more meaning. Peace Out
@GerardFreeman As one who has known Barrington pretty well for 31 years, I can assure you, Barrington Scott Henderson has NEVER attempted to SOUND like a single living soul in his life. His tone, range and agile throat places him in a league of his own. '...trying to sound like' is comical and pure hilarity.'
Man, this is just sooo good. You can easily hear how this version affected the writers of "Across the Universe." When Otis hits those high notes, the effect is indescribable.
oh thanks, you jogged my memory. Yes I heard it on the radio but never knew who they were. I think I heard 2 or 3 Lakeside songs I really liked but never saw them once.
So what? The Beatles took Black music re-worked and came to America and called it the British Invasion. The creators and the originators are simply re claiming their heritage.
Im 26 yo n I KNOW gud music! These brothas was getting down back n tha days! Sumtime I wish I hadve been a part of that era. Man people aint doin it like this no mo!
@A297MAN104 This is the bootleg version. The original song was cut with Barrington Henderson. See the Youtube version posted by nyseamex to hear the superior vocals of Bo Henderson. This Otis person is weak by comparison by far. Listen...you be the judge. Barrington's tones and highs are so much sweeter and dynamic!
That was not the original, this video is the real deal. Otis left the group and Lakeside redone it with a new singer in Otis place years later. The original comes from the Lakeside album "Your Wish Is My Command" ...Barrington was trying to sound like Otis. @daToinado
I love you Lakeside!!! You guys are freakin stellar!!! I'm a white girl from South Georgia and North Florida that grew up listening to you. I wish you still made new music, but with the shit they call music now, please! Yall sang that shit! For real!!! Love you Lakeside!!!!!
I was a kid when I first heard this and I LOVED it. I knew nothing of the Beatle's. I was a Black kid in the ghetto. Anyway, I heard Beatles version as a teen and I was like "Why are they singing that? It doesn't even sound good." It took me while to put 2 and 2 together and realise that it was their song, and Lakeside remade it. Now, I love the Beatles and can appreciate their original recording AND appreciate this luscious remake. They're like 2 different songs that are both brilliant.
@rellenoz Nobody did it better than them!!! I love it. thanks for posting one of my favorite songs. Now I gotta here One Way sing Something in The Pastl
There will never be music likes it's been in the 70's and 80's originality awsome will never ever be this great pure music! glad to been in that time now, we are in the 21st century no originality, gone but not forgotten....
Amazing that they took a fast song and slowed it down with soul! I love this version. I wonder does Lakeside look back and laugh at their hairstyles then??!!!! This is a great and underrated group. I heard them in concert and they put on a show!
WOW!! it's so amazing how these Gentlemen are all just standing around & "SINGING" without running around like a chicken without a head & we are only hearing (real) MUSIC. now this is MUSIC!!
Proud and happy to say, Amazing masterful talented musical groups from the "Gem City", Dayton, Ohio! The Ohio Players, Zapp featuring Roger, Heatwave, Slave, Sun, Shirley Murdock, Steve Arrington, Mel'sa Morgan and of course, Lakeside
NOW THIS IS THE ORIGINAL CUT WHERE HE SAIDS" SING WITH ME OTIS". MANY DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ONE AND THE REMAKE WHERE HE SAIDS" SING WITH ME BROTHA".
THIS IS WHAT REAL TALENT IS, OLD SCHOOL DID THE DAMN THANG!!! I loved this group, they were good, good & good. Their performance was so powerful that if you attended a concert & after it was over, the joy you felt to be in the same building with people. Just great. Big ups to old school music & talent, there is nothing that compares to it.
To me this is the best kind of remake. You don't simply make a copy of the original. That's just lazy and disrespectful to the original artist. To take an admired song and do an interpretation that shows the song in a completely different light, yet sounds good too, makes it interesting and worthy of the original. Best of all, it 's not a competition- each can be admired on their own merits.
@emmettk ...and it gives the original song more value. If you're gonna do an interpretation of a song, do it justice. Lakeside did it justice. You can't get T-Pain to do "Computer Love" and have such value. For true.
@emmettk I agree. Much like D'angelo did with Prince's "She Always In My Hair." He did it with his own flavor yet it was really good and funky. He paid homage to Prince.
THIS SONG STILL GIVES ME CHILLS! I REMEMBER THE 1ST TIME I HEARD IT! I WAS 12 YRS OLD! IT WAS 1982!! I THOUGHT IT WAS A BANGER THEN AND I STILL THINK SO TODAY! A PURE CLASSIC
Now, this is what I'm talkin bout! Classic and classy gentlemen with true vocal and instrumental talent. Oh! And very smooth from start to finish when they walked to the back of the stage and took their bows.
@NoPawn The artists you mentioned are pretty average compared to past artists. In the 60s and 70s we had 100s of top notch artists. The airwaves were saturated with real musicans and vocalists. The artist of today are nothing in comparison.
@PatsBooks That's kind of like saying there are better bands than Lakeside, which there are, and I love me some Lakeside (especially this song). And the artists I mention would not disagree with you, especially since it is those artists that have inspired them. But they are real musicians and vocalists too, and they will give you quality stuff. I love what they are putting out, and there are others out there that are giving you good stuff that you don't even have to look too hard for.
@Misaaq13 Everybody just want a quick buck, they don't care what it sounds like. Just take the one line they can manage to pull off without messing up, repeat it over and over again to the same beat - pow. Instant song.
I first heard this when I was a teenager, about 13 years old. It was an album, no such thing as CDs back then. I've searched for this version for years. The other version is ok but not as good as this one. Thanks Boss for posting this.
As good as they looked in that video, they didn't have to sing. All they had to do was just stand there! But I am glad that someone posted the original Lakeside version.
Oh My Gosh, Lakeside made this song their own. No one would ever know this is the song by the Beattles. Beautiful is not the word for this song. Thanks Lakeside for re-doing.
This is my jam! Wow, what talent ... I mean they got skillz ~ can sing, play instruments, and they got style & class. Too bad I can't say the same for many of today's artists.
this m,y shit...i`m in barbados..i used to listen to this song as much as i possibly could...man...they sung da shit out this song...u hear me youtube?????
@Sapphireblue959. Oh wow! Thanx for the heads up. Wish I had known in advance. Would love to see Cameo and Morris Day and the Time too. I won't be able to make it, and I see they still have floor seats available. DANG!!
You are right TheMr, I don't know why they don't. because their music was popular in the 70's and 80's, and also some of their music are being played on some movies of today such as "Johnson's Family Reunion".
But this is my first time on youtube that I have ever seen Lakeside period, I just heard their music a lot they made my favorite jam back when I was in high school "Fantastic Voyage".
This is how this song was meant to be sung, Thanks to The Beatles for writing the lyrics, big ups to Lakeside for arranging and producing this song the way it should have been done. Sing it with me Otis. Nothing like the orginal baby. Crank this one up.
Thank you so much for uploading this video and song. I love this entire album. I was in High School when it came out and I had the priviledge of meeting them and touching Otis Stokes's hand. He's the second singer. My heart still skips a beat whenever I see a pic of him. Otis if you're out there and still single, contact me, I'm all grown up now...Smile. But Seriously. Love U.

"Sing It With Me Otis." Love this version. This is the original Lakeside version. The Beatles were the original writers and singers. What Lakeside did with it is so amazing. Beautiful. I have all their albums. Real Talent, Real Singers, and Musicians.
@hardhittndoug Thanks you for a very well-written expression of my very thoughts about Lakeside and what they did with this song! :) Original. Beautiful. Amazing! I'd run out of adjectives trying to adequately describing my feelings.
Love these hometown brothers...they took this song and made it their own!

As good as they looked in that video, they didn't have to sing. All they had to do was just stand there! But I am glad that someone posted the original Lakeside version.

Oh My Gosh, Lakeside made this song their own. No one would ever know this is the song by the Beattles. Beautiful is not the word for this song. Thanks Lakeside for re-doing.

@bagley232 Of course, John Lennon was dead by then, but, yeah, would've loved to hear Paul's, George's, and Ringo's, reaction to it!

@Sapphireblue959. Oh wow! Thanx for the heads up. Wish I had known in advance. Would love to see Cameo and Morris Day and the Time too. I won't be able to make it, and I see they still have floor seats available. DANG!!

You are right TheMr, I don't know why they don't. because their music was popular in the 70's and 80's, and also some of their music are being played on some movies of today such as "Johnson's Family Reunion".
But this is my first time on youtube that I have ever seen Lakeside period, I just heard their music a lot they made my favorite jam back when I was in high school "Fantastic Voyage".

This is how this song was meant to be sung, Thanks to The Beatles for writing the lyrics, big ups to Lakeside for arranging and producing this song the way it should have been done. Sing it with me Otis. Nothing like the orginal baby. Crank this one up.

Thank you so much for uploading this video and song. I love this entire album. I was in High School when it came out and I had the priviledge of meeting them and touching Otis Stokes's hand. He's the second singer. My heart still skips a beat whenever I see a pic of him. Otis if you're out there and still single, contact me, I'm all grown up now...Smile. But Seriously. Love U.

"Sing It With Me Otis." Love this version. This is the original Lakeside version. The Beatles were the original writers and singers. What Lakeside did with it is so amazing. Beautiful. I have all their albums. Real Talent, Real Singers, and Musicians.

@hardhittndoug Thanks you for a very well-written expression of my very thoughts about Lakeside and what they did with this song! :) Original. Beautiful. Amazing! I'd run out of adjectives trying to adequately describing my feelings.
