My fave version is by The Four Leaves (aka The Osmonds of Japan), complete with garbled/mangled lyrics. Their version also goes the extra mile by adding Rare Earth's "Hey Big Brother" to the end.
Just got West Street Mob's talkbox '82 funk version on Sugarhill this morning. Not feeling it though
FAVORITE RIPOFF VERSIONS The Illusion: "Have You Seen Her Face" Ike & Tina: "Bold Soul Sister" Rufus Thomas: "The Preacher & The Bear" (live version)
this is (also) a favourite version of mine and because K. already mentioned it before i thought i have to add a pic... as far as i know this hasn't been comped yet, so check the breaks & beats and listen to a snippet HERE
Kinda discussed this one on another board recently.
Music is dope, but her vocal does the song no justice. The track itself is a natural call and response style demanding more than one vocalist (unless like Charlie you kept your version an instro, natch) - I think as a solo-ist, she really struggles with the song, personally - none more so than with that last high note.

Also big-ups to John McLaughlin for flipping the riff on Miles' "In a Silent Way".

Which album is that on? Sorry, I've only really listened to two of his records.

Naw, that's just a "in" joke, hommie.

Musically tight though.
I like that one too. Who would have thought the man had it in him? Innercity Blues version on the same album is cool too...
