Coke Escovedo-Why Can't We Be Lovers

[1Lam0nt1]

A great one to hear, or to dance...great!

[hollidayevery]

I loved the original of this song, but bought this one as a curiousity and fell in love with this version as well....Well done, Mr. Escovedo.

[nvet1953]

I remember tunes by his cousin Pepsi.....

[ootube7]

This LP was one of my favorites when I was 19.... Linda Tillery is the best

[AfromanDisco]

Mellow madness



[srn1962]

This was reissued as an import CD several years ago and is now out of print. The album itself is an amazing testament of Coke's talent as a musician. This song in particular is a standout, with wonderfully soaring vocals that exude emotion missing from much of today's music. Though I am a huge fan of Lamont Dozier, this is still my favorite version. Top tune indeed!
