Favorite version of People Make the World Go Round

Embarassingly enough, it was the Moodymann version of this song that turned me on to it's greatness, so name some good versions.I'm listening to the Shirley Scott version now, which is genius, and I didn't know it existed until today.

It's a great composition and difficult to mess up, but I don't think anything's messing with the Stylistics' original.

TREW

TEMPREES!!!

Micheal Jackson has a good version on one of his early solo joints.

My favorite is Angela Bofill's. Real Salsa-like.

lucero

Peter Gaudions Blues Express

PMTWGR being a awesome example.

There was a similar post a while back, somebody posted a version by The Gimmicks,. I really liked that one.

Thanks again for posting that, whoever it was.

Can someone drop some knowledge on wich one of they're albums that track is on?

Although I wouldn't call this Milt Jackson's BEST record, it still remains a personal favorite on CTI. It was one of the first uhhh...jazz fusion :cringe: records that really caught my ear and still has somewhat of a hold on me.

high_c

probably the best thing he's ever done, no question.

This comment can be attributed to a recent cocaine addiction. Next thing you know this dude'll be making up stories about finding 5 sealed copies of Quintessence at the flea market.


*jesus, I need to put down the pipe - I've edited this post twice. verbs are key in sentence construction.

Red Is Dread is the dub of the Chosen Few version, but I kind of prefer it. You can get it on Scrub-A-Dub Reggae (Harriott) which has been reished: http://Labcabin.com/cds/241/235/14651.html I'm sure the Chosen Few LP has been as well.

For a more recent version, I reccomend Innerzone Orchestra version with the J-88 remix.

Dj_Coma_Toast

I like the version on THIS:

co-sign. Jerry Butler's band is nice on that album.
