Happy was originally done by British group Hi-Tension, and was re done by Surface.

The original Group featured David Joseph before he went solo, and if you go back far enough had Phil Phearon (Galaxy) as a member when they were called Hot wax.

  • You all right !!! I checked the album dates, and i cant argue with all of ya; you absolutely right.

    Thats what you get when you copy off wikipedia........i should know better.

  • @Mixsensei HaHa. My college English tutor used to say: Do your research, WITHOUT the corrosive influence of the Internet..! LOL

  • @PhflyDan1 couldnt agree more !!!

  • You're having a grin mate. Hi Tension released Happy 2 years before Surface released their cover version. Hi Tension originally released it in 1984 and then Surface covered it (badly) in 1986. Get your facts right dude!!

  • Ive updated with correct info!! Thanx ......

  • Its all GOOD ! I was just having an offline argument with some 'friends' on which version was better, Surface or Hi Tension? Either or in my books, both classics...

  • I liked both, though Surface was almost a little too sugary. HT is a tougher version yet still soul full...

  • SO FUNNY..Hi, our version was Produced, Written & Arranged by David Pic Conley..We Played, Sang. And Its was Made in ENGLAND...Thankx for the Comments LOL nice one Mixsensei

  • Big up the Horizon under 18 crew! Oh yea baby i woz there. High Tension woz there. Loved every minute. Quality! xx

  • Big up the Horizon under 18 crew! Oh yea baby i woz there

  • WOW! You learn something new everyday! I never knew Surface did a remake! LOL I don't think Surface did a bad job of it, personally, but that's just my opinion. The irony of PhflyDan1 's comment is interesting. Its may may true that the internet has corrosive influence, but it can be just as helpful. Otherwise, i wouldn't believe this!

  • Why didn't Surface release this first? I'm thinking when they produced this (from what i've read) and gave the song to Hi Tension to record and it seems to have backfired on Surface because HT's version is way better (in my absoulute opinion and others) than Surface's offering which came out later. Maybe they're both one of the same? Royalties due to the writer on both versions..

  • This is the one! Surface version is a karaoke copy. Sorry..a bit harsh. Hi Tension are the leaders others follow

  • @PrAnG2000 Just my humble opinion! For me I guess the Hi Tension version was proper soulful where as the Surface version sounded more commercial. Just an opinion....

  • @ricke69

    Come on! How can you say Surface's version was bad???

  • @BlackBronson By the way... ALL HAIL MIXSENSEI!!!!!
