Covers That Should Have Been Made

[Ngroove]

Dream Coulda-Beens [[Still lemme know if it has already been done, I don't have all the albums / 45s, yet):


Marvin Gaye, 1966-1968-ish, or/and Jermaine Jackson, 1972-1973-ish:

"Tomorrow Is Another Day" [[Billy Butler, B-Side of "I Can't Work No Longer", 1965)

"Loop De Loop" [[Johnny Thunder, 1962)

"Guess Who" [[Jesse Belvin, 1959)

"Red Sails In The Sunset", "I Wish You Love" [[Standard, both favored versions to me was done by Nat King Cole)


Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, 1967-1968:

"The Real Thing" - A classic Ashford / Simpson standard, Yes, Jo Armstead's too - The Chiffons, Tina Britt, Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown - or was Ashford & Simpson not allowed to take it with them when they moved to Motown?


Stevie Wonder, 1966-1967-ish:

"Respect" [[Otis Redding, 1965)

"Headline News" [[With Edwin Starr's permission / blessing, 1966)

"Land Of A Thousand Dances" - Kind of a standard the early-mid sixties - Chris Kenner, Round Robin, Wilson Pickett - but would of been awesome to see him match the STAX sound on this one, which I'm sure he could.

In fact, an entire album of mid-sixties Stevie singin' Atlantic-Stax [[Respect, Land Of A Thousand Dances, Knock On Wood, Hold On, I'm A Comin', ect) would have been neat and I'm sure buyable.


The Originals, 1974-1976

"I Really Love You" [[Dee Dee Sharp, 1965, the Ambassadors, 1969)

"What's Your Name" [[Don & Juan, 1962)

"Tears On My Pillow" [[Little Anthony & the Imperials, 1958)

"Don't Have To Shop Around" [[The Mad Lads, 1966)
