Reply With QuoteThe only other version that I just found on some of my CDs is from around 1990 by F.P.I. Project. It's that typical UK House sound of that period.

I am pretty certain that there were a few variants of this track around - obviously the Lamont Dozier, and the Odyssey version, but recently reminiscing I seem to recall a more 'funkier'/harder/faster version with a male vocalist I think I first heard around 1977. Is my memory playing tricks or was there another version floating around at that time?
EDIT: It's not the Richie Havens one either!

The male artist must have been Richard Havens. He did a cover version around 1980. His cover have been "covered" , reissued and remixed several times in the 90's and 00's.

F.P.I.Project were Italian but did use a British vocalist Sharon Dee Clarke who also sang on Nomad's early 90s house/pop stuff. She also played a nurse in Dennis Potter's 'Singing Detective' TV series, if anyone's interested! :-?

No, this was in 1977 - I have the Lamont Dozier version (both 12" & album) and the tempo of the one I remember is faster, and the vocals more 'growly'. I think the Richie Havens version is a bit 'lame' & Odyssey's too poppy for my tastes.
