I was just listening to this song .I like Diana's lead but the backing vocals are a bit off at the beginning.at least to me.half way through the harmony kicks in.not a bad cover.not as sharp as the Elgins version but a good cover.needs that Kevin Reeves touch to me .
Any thoughts
Incorrect title - it's "Heaven Must Have Sent You".
Incorrect forum - it should be in the DRATS forum.
It's a good cover and would have made a nice album cut. It wasn't given that full-blown treatment an A-side would have gotten.The background vocals have a nice sort of "casual" and relaxed feel to them, which works out well here; not trying to better the original, just a nice, enjoyable, breezy cover.really, after the Elgins slayed the dragon with their original, any other version of the song would sound like an afterthought.
Because,
Sorry I added this to the wrong forum.i tried to delete it but could not.
My apologies
Not of fan of this version - sounds too Pop and unfinished. Diana sounds okay although I'm not a fan of her saying "beau" in place of "boy" - was she experimenting?! Yes, the backgrounds are weak.
I've wondered if this might have been a good song for Mary to cover on the A' Go-Go album. I know it was a fairly new release for The Elgins but it might have worked better than Memories for Mary.
I love the Supremes' version of "Heaven Must Have Sent You" including the back-up vocals. It would have made a great album track. Would have much preferred this over "Ode To Billy Joe" on the "Reflections" album.
Is there anything RIGHT about this thread? :p:p:pQuote:

it's a nice cover. diana's lead is sufficient. but it never really builds up to the climax you'd hope for
