Is there anyone (under the age of 60, I'm 26yrs) who grew up listening to this? lol I NEVER saw this in a movie until after my mom played it for over and over and over. lol My mom always listened to 60's pop/soul music and we listened to it in the car almost everyday (she drove for her work and I went with her to work a lot.) :D
i put this in my playlist cus i thought it was Jackie Wilson, unfortunately it isnt...this is crap..who the hell is even singing ? this is such a horrible attempt at what Jackie made
A cover version by Rita Coolidge in 1977 reached US #2. It was a much slower version and the title was amended slightly to "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher And Higher.
i know it's sad but when i was about 5 years old i heard this song from a cartoon film about a cat or something but i fogoten the name of the film can any of yous help me out pls
@dexachu I cannot wait! It's great that they are using a lot of the original cast... though probably much like Toystory or Jackass it will make me feel old.. Time passes too quickly.
Singing this at church - which is just brilliant due to the fact that we don't exactly sing it to these words exactly. We're a odd bunch to, three family members, the rest are the only lot there. And hell are we loud. Its so good to finally be able to jump about the church to something so epic!
@jamietherooster It was! It went brilliantly and there was a mixture of laugher, confusedness and brilliance throughout the congregation. But it was a sight to behold. We made sure of it.
nice version. must confess... v. disappointed at the lack of GOOD jackie wilson videos of him performing this song. feel the "elvis-esque" ones available, a bit watered-down for the mostly white US public at the time of filming, a little annoying and lacking real soul. thank you so much for posting this! thumbs up if you want peace!
Does that band sound familiar? They were none other than The Motown Funk Brothers. You can clearly hear the opening bass notes of James Jamerson. That was a match made in heaven. Brunswick, which was Jackie's label, asked them to play on some of Jackie's songs. I don't know if Berry Gordy was O.K. with that because Berry didn't like his band moonlighting for anyone else. But being that Berry had had earlier collaborations himself with Jackie by writing songs for him, it might have been O.K.
@tommiexander Berry Gordy didn't like them moonlighting, in fact they were once fined for playing at a rival studio on an Edwin Starr session(Agent Double-O Soul)(BTW, the owner of the rival company crashed the Motown Christmas party that year and paid the Funk Brothers back double what they were fined!). After they kept on making more hits for the other studio(Golden World), Berry Gordy bought them out.
Death To Smoochy! I loved that movie! I'm surprised the reviews were so terrible when it was released! It was amazing and such a great acting part from Robin Williams!
wow funny you only hear alot of these songs in commercials and movies when you guys remember your past but theres never any credit given to jackie, sam, little richard, ect. well any way at least give credit where credit is due
if you cannot dance to this track may i suggest you seek the services of an undertaker :))))
