Barbara Mason - You Can Depend On Me - Beautiful Ballad

This is an interesting one sided promo. There are faint grooves on the flip of this record, and it's actually a reverse mirror image of what's pressed on the other side. This is an utterly fantastic version of the Smokey Robinson and The Miracles classic

This was originally done by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. He does it better although this version isnt bad.

[PJDooWop]

Smokey's version is one of my favorite tunes. I posted it onto youtube a year or so ago

[ILIKETHICKCHIX]

i used to have that record......great stuff. not the promo tho.

[PJDooWop]

You'll probably come across another. it's not a common record by any means, but I don't think it's a big money record either.

Oh Yes, thanks PJ..what a great song..she personified this song from Smokey .

[PJDooWop]

You're welcome. She did make this her own, but the beauty and overall feel of the original was maintained.

great post love barbara mason!!!

[lesgore54]

I suspect this is a cover of the Brenda Holloway version of YCDOM from her Every little bit hurts lp issued in June 1964.. It's too similar to be otherwise. Compare the vocal as well as the arrangement.

Ooooo, Smokie!!!! Just as good!!!!!

[iluvmyboba]

Aww, Thanks, PJ. This is truly a treat. Barbara Mason is one of my favorite singers. You can never go wrong with her intoxicating vocals. NEVER!!!!!

P J, this is very good, but as you said Smokey's is better. But think of this one as a better one for a female to send to a male. smile!! I have the other in my favorites as well. thx 4 posting....phyllis
