| I definetely do. Excellent group - they were so much more than this "Let's Talk About Sex" track everybody knows them for. Wonder if Al Hudson still involved in the music biz today? Also, One Way singer Vee Allen made a solo album "All About Love" produced by Hudson for MCA in 1983. The difference between this and the regular One Way stuff is non-exixtent :lol: ...Why didn't they just release it as a One Way album. :lol: |

| One way certainly had their moments...I need to revisit their LPs some day, but off the top, here were my favourites: 'Music' (still incredibly powerful) 'Cutie Pie' 'Let's Go Out Tonite' 'Push' 'Didn't You Know it' (the last One Way tune I flipped on - groovy and deep s**t) 'How Do You Do' and 'Spread Love' as the Soul Partners |

| I would add to your list "Pop it" and a slow jam called, I think, "Lost inside of you (lost within you)". I listened to them in their Al Hudson phase and certainly they sounded great. Apparently their work was poorly edited on CD, with compilations that took their names and photo covers from the original albums, something certainly confusing for me, at least. It would be good if someone here lists the original albums with name, year and list of tracks. I can't find any vinyl from them round here...

| Thanks man! Now if your help me a little... I'm looking for one of those "OW featuring AH" albums, with a white car on the sleeve and the name of the band on a street sign... That one should include both "Pop it" and the slow song I'm looking for. It's not "Lost inside of you" (I checked on Kazaa) but has a similar-sounding name, a mid-tempo and very classy love song, female voice, piano-led, some trumpet in the background, it's the first song on one side... Can you identify it? Pleasssse!!!

| Nano, Is it the LP with "You Can Do It" on it? I have that one and they were still Al Hudson & The Partners at that point, I think. That was "Happy Feet" unless it was repackaged as something else. It had a street sign and a car on the cover--but, looking at the track listing on allmusic..."Now That I've Found You" is missing...so I'm not sure. Your song "Pop It" is listed on the "Push" LP and maybe some other hits compilations. All the name changes may have led to some repackaging of LPs--not sure.

| Nano, I went back and reread your post and BOTH the songs you want are on this "Push" compilation: 1. Something in the Past (Hudson/Perkins) 2. Lost Inside of You 3. Don't Do Me This Way 4. Another Love Song 5. Guess You Didn't Know 6. If You Play Your Cards Right 7. Call Me 8. Push (McCord) 9. Lady You Are 10. Pop It (Hudson/McCord) Since it doesn't contain such major One Way moments as "Cutie Pie" and "Mr. Groove," MCA Special Products' Push can't be thought of as a definitive hits collection, but it has enough — "Something in the Past," "Pop It," "Lady You Are" — to make it worth its budget-price for some casual fans. [The cassette version of Push contains eight tracks, while the CD contains two bonus tracks: "Pop It" and "Lady You Are"] — Stephen

| single smile for those of you who remember the single "smile" I was brousing the gemm.com site, and came across the 12" promo copy of smile :D I remember hearing a different version on the r&b station many years ago. I just thought it was a dj mixing live when I heard it... I just got the record from a seller for $5.75 8) it rocks!!! especially the "dub/scratch mix" 8:01. Another seller had the record for $35 :o It's worth the $35 price tho. has anybody heard the 12" "dub/scratch" version? |
