Barbara Randolph- Can I Get A Witness

Barbara Randolph's second and last single on the Soul label was a cover of Marvin Gaye's 1963 single Can I Get a Witness, and her version is soulful and funky, sadly she passed away in 2002

i love how they changed the groove up a little for this remake

You should hear her sing Hard Hearted Hannah- and her delightful performance of the same song, sung less well, but the only video I could find here, posted as "Hard Headed Hannah"

Yep, MowtownMaster's turntable is running about 1 RPM per minute faster than normal. (just count the revolutions in one minute).

I am sure your record player plays the songs too fast LOL, I have this on my computer - from the actual remastered cd and it's in a slightly lower key.

GREAT song anyway, Barbara had a VOICE and was even considered as a replacement for Florence Ballard, but apparently Diana blocked it because she thought she was too pretty - come on now Flo was STUNNING LOL

What year this cover version was released?
