Good song, but I don't like Roger's version at all. Actually, I never liked the original version but I loved Roger's. Same with Roger's version of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" and with Amii Stewart's "Knock On Wood" as compared to the originals. I usually hate remakes but those three I prefer.

I really liked Wilson Pickett's version of Midnight Hour. It is definitely a true "soul" record. His vocals are raw and the groove couldn't be beat. When Roger remade it, he took the soul out of it and left us with with a bad 80s remake. As for other remakes....it depends. Songs like "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Knock On Wood", etc.I like the originals and remakes. I love all 3 popular versions of Grapevine. Gladys' is a 60s danceable song, Marvin's is a soulful rendition, and Roger's is pure funk. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Roger's version of "Midnight Hour" is soulful & funky. I played the 45 daily once I found it as a kid (13 yrs old) Plus you cannot miss with the Mighty Clouds Of Joy singing backup! I still get goosebumps when I hear Roger say Uh-huh....Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby" |
