This one really knocks me off !!! I've been listening this track again & again & again....Just can't keep your body from dancing !!!!

Bobby "Blue" Bland tried with "Yield not to temptation" to do better....

I may be wrong, but this one's not the answer to "High heel Sneakers"..The answer is Sugar Pie de Santo's "Slip-in-mules".....

Top song....You can hear it on the "Soul kitchen" movie soundtrack (by the way, very funny movie - worth watching - won a few prizes..)........

A fantAstic song (cover version of Mary Silver's song from 1963)..

Can't say much about this Amanda...

A stunning song written by Noel Coward, about his loves for boys.....

One of the all-time most beautiful songs ever...

A wonderful female singer, very little known but worth being listening to..

A most interesting bio can be found in the sleeve of the following cd, with other top female singers : "Hands off, 1950-1956 Modern Studio recordings " (Acerecords) - with the very first singles (A's & B's ) recorded by D...

At that time (1967), no one understood that it was an anti-vietnam message from Scorsese..........for all those young men sent over there, killed and forgotten in Viet,.........all that bloody war and bloody killings....!!!!!!!!!

Thanks harodugan - I was sure she was british, guessing so for backing and working mostly in the UK.....

Top group, this song really knocks me off !!!!! Lots of similar tracks from the Five Keys...What a group!!!!!!

A cover version of Patsy Cline's "When I get through with it (or "you" - don't remember - from 1962)..This version seems a little more bouncy

One of the best female singers ever, the secong female (after Aretha - but she shoulda been the very fisrt one!) to enter the ROCK'n'ROLL HALL OF FAME....Listen to her, you'll understand why..Great rhythm, bouncy & catchy songs....

Dusty was very good at gospels..Listen to her (studio) versions of "Won't be long", "Packin' up"(in album "Everything's coming up Dusty)..The black female vocalist is Madeline Bell, who recorded a few hits with "her" group Blue Mink..She also recorded stunning tracks in solo in the 60's - with ...

First recorded in 1960 by the unique Aretha.Dusty's studio version is a wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A really bouncy gospel song!!!!!

One of my all time favourite slow-song EVER..Really makes me cry !!!...Her version is so heartbreaking..I don't think she ever recorded this song; this is a live performance during her BBC shows in the 60's....First recorded by the Drifters, then Patti Labelle & the Bluebelles (nive version too),...

Hi, This is the original version (1957), Betty's Everett's from 1966, I guess....

The right title is " (It's) Hard to believe"..A very unterrated singer, who had regular top 20 hits throughout the 70's..Best compilations are this above (hard to find) and "Sunshine girls" (from Sequel)..A must!!!

Gracias a cualquiera que me diga si esta version es disponible en el comercio..Me han dicho que es la version original (de una tal Encarnita Polo) "remixada" al gusto del dia..Quien me puede contestar ????????????????????????

Ray Charles' is the best version, although this one is quite good !!

From a french fan.

Sadly, she passed away a few years ago..On google, you can find bios about her, especially David Nathan's one....

This is the most famous cover version of a french song (I'm french....) called "La mer" de Charles Trenet...Must confess that if "La mer " is for us,french people, a classic song, this swinging version is - for me - a beautiful one..

You can find 3 of her albums (Gee, baby, ain't I good to you,1959 / Take one,1959 / Here I am, 1974 her last album to date )+ some other tracks on google, mp3 Donna Hightower..Let me you if you found it out....

Her very most promising beginning...But by 1959, she was left without any contract..She went to Spain and stayed there for almost 30 years,having local hits at many festivals (Costa del Sol, Mallorca) & got many prizes for her songs..but success was only local..She had to wait until 1972 with her...

The original version from 1964, at that time this song kept unnoticed; G.Jones re-recorded it in the 70's until Soft Cell made their chartbuster in 1981....This one runs 4'44 ,it seems to be an extended version of the original (2'25 more or less)...Terrrrrriffic

Yes, this is the original version covered by Soft Cell in 1980 - Version originale, que par ailleurs Gloria Jones réenregistra dans les années 70....
