Over And Over

[Ivana Tinkle]

Can anyone tell me if the Ashford & Simpson 12" Over and Over is related to Sylvesters' Over and Over as i'm sad to say i've only had ( a much loved ) boot of the Sylvester 12' and it's definitely in my all time top ten....?

Yes Ivana, The Sylvester and Ashford & Simpson tunes are the same. Ashford & Simpson wrote and recorded it for their 1977 "So So Satisfied" album. The A&S version is a lot slower and not as exciting (I've only heard the album version of their rendition so I could be mistaken about the 12 inch). Sylvester took an ordinary album track and made it a very hot dance single.

Ivana,

I think I spoke a little too soon! LOL. After reading this topic I got out both my copies of 'Over And Over' and I can't take Ashford & Simpson's version out of my player! Both versions are great but A&S's version is a lot more mellow, not as boring as I remembered. Check it out if you can find a copy and let me know how the 12 inch mix is.

There is also a more "disco" female vocal 4/4 version on AVI by Torrell
