Delegation - I figure I'm out of your life

[Encinobro]

The lead vocalist on Arnie's Love version was in fact Arnold Josephs. I know because I was in the studio when he recorded it back in 1983 in New York City. I too like Arne's version better. I was his bass player then. His brother is Tony Lee, who did the song Reach Up, another classic track.

arnie love version...sounds a lot better. sorry

[charioteer1]

Wow, i'm with the rest of you, i had no idea this existed. But Arnie's Love's version is better. Now i must hunt down this version.

I've always wondered who the lead vocal on Arnie's Love was, i had this feeling that it was Billy Griffin, maybe someone knows.

[agfagaevart]

And...THEY'RE BRITISH!!!!

[agfagaevart]

Wow!

And I thought Arnies Love did it first.

I like the 2011 version too...

[HASMITA123]

what a beautiful revelation. Not knowing that this was a cover version has absolutely amazed me. How unusually beautiful to have air in my lungs to come across this rough diamond of a tune. Still like the 1983 verson more, though.

Never knew that Arnie's Love wasn't the original until now - the say you learn something new every day!!

[sjenism]

I like Arnies version better

[leroydubya]

Add me to the growing list of people who never knew the Arnie's Love version was a cover. This is nice also. Why didn't this ever get any airplay?

[xxs78]

good i love delegation

[CRAVJENS]

Didnt know this was the original, you learn a new thing everyday, really good tune though

[JOEHAYTER]

My god, I've never heard this original until now. Must confess though, that I still prefer Arnie's Love's cover version.

Ja ja das waren noch Zeiten, als wir noch Partys mit euch gefeiert habe.

Es war einfach nur geil

[videogme]

I love the Jaco Pastorius influenced phasing and tone on the bass here.

[movinwaves]

Perfeito!!

[conehead1964]

Love the bass loop of this arrangement...

[RitmoNo1]

Wow! Only heard Arnies Love version - I have a 12" by these - "Singing" which I don't think got the recognition it deserved.

I love this version, adore the Arnies Love version.

Something in me says this song was written with Al Jarreau in mind. It has that feel.

[phos808]

how true! it has that laid back west coast feeling to it. the mixing, the rhodes sound and the horns on arnie's version remind me a lot of al jarreau songs in the early 80's.

[HASMITA123]

@danoba6 yeah you're right. The voice kind of gives that unmistakenly Al Jarreau feel.

[juanmaneke]

bonita cancion.

[fastflyer2007]
