da blow ya mind Old skool cut of the day Spoonbread's How can you mend a Broken heart

Backin the day people actually thought this was a Undercover Jackson 5 record or Sylvers record, in all acuality, Spoonbread was a Kid Group from Germany They were discovered by none other than Sylvia Robinson, who signed them To Stang Records... Testify if you know this version smile

Rev. Green's version should really come with a warning sticker:

WARNING: Do not listen while actually heartbroken. May cause attempted suicide.

I mean, for real. It's absolutely wrenching.

Since you're the only one that took a shot, and i'm sure Finess already knows, here it is.

These numbers are approx because I can't confirm when they were last updated.

How Deep Is Your Love - 162
To Love Somebody - 138
Stayin' Alive - 132
Words - 108 (incl. Bill Deal and The Rhondels)
Massachusetts - 90

http://www.beegees-world....vers2.html

You nailed 3 out of the 5.
