The entire "Diana & Marvin" LP is a treasure of mine from my teens to today. Specially the covers of The Stylistics "You Are Everithing" and "Stop, Look, Listen". Sweet and mellow.

[rovereab]

You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin & Tammi is at the top of my list.

Wooooooowww....!, many, many thanks, Marv for posting this "supreme" cover [[never better used this qualification). Until now, my favorite cover was the one by Matt Monro in spanish.

BTW, I saw a track-list in Amazon, a 60's Philly Soul compilation that includes a "cover" by The Ambasadors and perhaps is the "original", as the mp3 sample sound so "old", primitive "too-woop" flavored... who knows?!

Cheers to all

Manny,

The Ambassadors did a cover of ICTMEOY on their 1969 LP, "Soul Summit." Here's the LP w/ sound clips:

Manny, you are welcome. It has always been one of my favorites!

Thanks, No Place Like Motown, and thanks again, Marv.

I have been herding the samples of the Ambassador's album. The mp3 sound clip is very short [[like the one on the various artists compilation I have heard years before) but it's enough to appreciate the different flavor of this cover. On my ears sounds too much old doo-woop for my taste, as one tune I have on Collectable's "The Blue Notes feat. 'My Hero'" that includes a cover by Neighbor Complaints of The Blue Note's "If You Love Me"[[ the original do not was included, according the linner notes explains, because legal copyright problems.

The only tune I have by Ambassadors is "I Can't Believe That You Love Me" [[not sure if this is the exact title) and is included in the UK Jazz-Soul CD "Philadelphia Roots, Vol. 2".
