This is excellent. The singer maintains the laid back nostalgia of the original .The song works so well as a reggae number that even though I,m well into my seventh decade I'm going to skank around the kitchen when I replay this track. Cheers Lord Thorpe 9the first)
ROCKERS!! RUN BACK THAT, DREAD!! SERIOUS SKANKING FROM BACK A YARD, BACK-A-DAYS! If you listen to the rhythym track, it sounds like there is a mid-sixties rock-steady style inter-posed with an early-seventies rockers style going simultaneously - it seems confusing, but it works! And it sounds like somebody borrowed an old rhythym track from the original producer and recorded modern vocals over it (apparently a trend some years ago in England among the local reggae scene there.) Big Tune!

" Magnolia" H-Town I may be bias, but I do respect that, all minority groups have brought flavor to the music industry and to its ethnic groups , What a country, thank God for it !. 2010
I still had the Barbara Lewis cut on my favorites as of Monday. Don't tell me the running dogs of Capital have messed with my selections again!? Meanwhile this is a VERY creditable version, suggestive of the way things actually often went in the day, with caribbean sounds getting rescored or rearranged to become stateside r+b hits. Now I have to go check. I will be pissed if sparwood is right!
the lead singersounds almost lie yvonne specially in the intro...good version..one of my favorite songs..dowloaded all versions in utube tonight..im loking for ms elliman's version..i have it on mp3 though..thank you and best of everythng to all who loves this beautiful music...
Brown Sugar thanks Babygirl for taking the time to let me know.......Yvonne Elliman didn't do Hello Stranger. I confused her with Paula Estrada who has a pretty version of this song also.
This subtle Reggae version has a nice groove......i dig it.
wallpaper, a partner, a great tune some good food and drink to keep you energised what more do you need. Thanks for posting and have a wonderful prosperous new year.
I do wish that people would not steal precious music off others. It can leave you empty and wondering who your friends really are. I hope that you get another cd soon and until then enjoy class at its very best.
i just love this song..original or duplicate..dosent matter.. love em all

'Running Dogs' of Capital not as bad as WMG. 'Hello Stranger' is still alive with Yvonne E. This is a nice twist to a sweet song, though
