It seems to say 'original'.

Smokey Robinson  wrote and recorded the original..which seems to be heavily sampled in this... and released it in 1965.

Despite my undying teen lust after the gorgeous Michelle Phillips.. I pointed out to my friends that the original hit was recorded by the fabulous Shirelles around1960:

 

However... I was wrong (DJ 360 wrong? Surely not!!!) Surely yes.. So here it is.. the original..

 

 

Credit where it's due I say..:)

Not a patch on the original, but love the dance moves     

 

 

 

 

I've misjudged you Red!!

Not a bad rendition and yes, the dance moves are fab and groovy, but

they don't trump the Impressions:

 

 

One of my favourite 'non Motown' bands, whose history goes back to at least 1958,with this:

 

Jerry Butler went on to have his own solo career..recording this well before the Walker Bros.

 

And this brilliant recording with Betty Everett in 1964:

 

 

Meanwhile the Impressions had hits such as:

Not listening, but watching an old French movie short which brought back memories of my childhood,  the film Ballon Rouge,  or rather The Red Balloon , lovely views of France in the old days too.

I’ve just watched the film again… it’s quite surreal isn’t it!

I started thinking about the song - 99 red balloons from the 80s

Did Johnny Dankworth and Cleo Laine do a gig together way back?

Yes often.  We’ve seen them perform at The Stables in Wavendon, Milton Keynes, which was their home.  A good friend of ours hired The Stables for his 50th Birthday party, 20+ years ago, and we were entertained by The Bootleg Beatles, a brilliant night.  It was a great venue but not sure if it’s still open.
