I think he's back as Yusuf... I've heard several new tunes by him at various places over the past couple years. Still has awesome composition & performance chops.

It was Rod's version of this tune that first exposed me to this great song.... I still think his version is the best...

 

Thanks, Booshy.

 

We miss your participation here on HC SSS.

For some reason, I was thinking that there was an early Colin Blunstone cover of this song. I can find no proof of that. Anybody recall one?

[rasputin1963]

There is a mid-60's "Northern Soul" version by a Black British female artiste that is very good... anyone remember her name?

i have just about everything Colin has ever recorded, That song is not in my collection...I'm sure he would do an admirable job if he has or will record it.

I love his version of 'Misty Roses'.

thanks, I'm pretty much sure it was a phantom memory. Maybe a 1% chance it was a promo.

If you ever do stumble across it in the future, PLEASE PM me, I would love to hear that.

That's the one, Snowcow.:thu: It was not a hit Stateside at all. But It was big in the UK as I later discovered, especially on the Pirate radios...

Hey Booshy,

 

Glad your back, I've been missing my buddy .. thanks for posting the Rod Stewart video, as I've been really listening to him a lot. A dear friend of mine has played in his band and toured the world over for the past 3 years, and I get the road report from where ever they're at, it's quite a lot of fun.

 

I think Rod is one of the BEST singers on the planet, study his phrasing and you will learn a lot.
