Richie Barrett - "Some Other Guy" (Original Version)

[QuadMochaMatti]

He's clearly channeling Samuel J. Gopher (from the land of Winnie the Pooh) @ :28 to :40!

John Lennon called this song "Son of What'd I Say".

Killer. Sure enough it's a Ray Charles pastiche, but every bit as hypnotic, compelling and groovy as the real thing.

[KUTVgroucho]

Sounds like it was inspired by Ray Charles.

This is such a great foot tapping song, like the Beatles version too! Apparently loads of other people have covered it.

@54Richie there was a documentary on pbs several years ago called "john lennon's jukebox" which literally featured a portable jukebox once owned by john lennon and this was one of the records that was in it, directly inspired "instant kharma"

@54Richie hello mate, i found this gem and many others on a compilation album called "at the club", a superb collection of sixties club classics.
