re: female recording of "Pull Yourself Together"...

...The version by Buddy Miles is a down-tempo, after-hours, morning-music, sleeze classic.

But one night at Salvation / Miami, around 6-7am on a Sunday morning, I SWEAR I heard this song by a woman. And it sounded a lot like Esther Phillips, too!

And 29 years later, I still can't even find mention of it by anyone, on any site.

Did anyone else hear this recording?

(<sigh> No, Stephen. Just you...)

Well Esther Phillips did record a version of the song back in 1981.

Holy crap, Batman!!!

I scoured her discographys, whenever I found one and never saw it listed.
And summer of '81 is when I first came back to NYC, from Miami. So the time-line makes sense. But, enough about my aging eyesight...

thank you! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!! :icon_biggrin:
