Original 1971 hit version of the song that later evolved into the hit Mandy for Barry Manilow and Westlife.
Aside from Brandy/Mandy , Scott English also co-wrote other hits for other artists including Bend Me Shape Me and Hi-Ho Silver Lining

is a song jointly written and composed by Scott English and Richard Kerr.
-
My fave. The original....and the best. More heart and soul. The other one has just way too much gloss and glamour all over it.
-
I enjoy both versions, but I got to admit this one has more feeling than Manilow´s.
-
Oh my gosh, I love it! Love Barry's Mandy too but this is just beautiful. :)
-
@pinchpop2 Barry Manilow turned it "white bread" with his nasal whine. Never knew this song could sound this good. Sounds like something from a 60s/70s soul singer, especially with the harmonies.
-
@ollberto manilow never saved this song ..he did take the soul out of it though
-
OMG!!
After 37 years of living, I just learned that Barry Manilow's song was a cover!
I'm feeling exhilarated listening to this!
Great post!

Me again 45rpm SINGLES
I bought this today in a charity shop in Swansea for 5p. I played it not knowing what to expect. I had no idea that Mandy was a cover version.
The version I bought though is a reissue from 1975 on the Mooncrest label (MOON 39).
PS, I know have an excellent condition of the Les Gray song you have posted.
Cheers
