Nikita - "Our Day Will Come"

[mysterysinger]

I do like this version a lot.

Mary Wilson it isn't and although Mary does a nice version too, my preference is for Ruby & The Romantics, followed by this one from Nikita Germaine. Give it a few listens - ear worm time.

Mysterysinger, "Our Day Will Come" is one of my favorite songs period. I've never heard a version that I didn't like. A few of my favorites are, of course, Ruby and the Romantics, the Supremes, the Vibrations, Dionne Warwick, Frankie Valli. Even Nell Carter did a version on "Gimme a Break" that was great. However, Nikita's version doesn't do anything for me. Vocally she sounds great, but that track...I can't do it. She does sound good though.

This is quite irrelevant but I just had to jump in and ask: hey RanRan, what about this version by The Undisputed Truth...? :D

I love it Tom. Definitely one of the better versions of the song.

Oh, wow, cool! It is very nice.

I like that Nikita was bold and tried to do something different, but the arrangement does not work as well, IMO.

I remember buying this album in the early 90's and had totally forgotten all about it. Niikita had a lovely expressive quality to her voice and there were a couple of gems on this album. This is not my favourite version or my favourite track on the album but it a reasonable attempt to try something new with an old classic. This lady really should have been bigger and i must dig out the cd which i haven't listened to in perhaps 30 years.Thanks for the heads up mysterysinger.

Heart Devotion

It is a nice track. Well worth tracking down.

[mysterysinger]

"Heart's Devotion" is on the same album as "Our Day Will Come" - the album is called "Sweet As It Comes".
