You Keep Me Hanging On - The Definite Version "You Keep Me Hanging On" is probably one of the most covered songs of all time.
Which version do you deem best? The Supremes http://www.youtube.com/wa...MKaRKbsswM Kim Wild http://www.youtube.com/wa...NyRU0fKHAY Aretha Franklin - sorry no video, it's on her "Rare and Unreleased' Vanilla Fudge http://www.youtube.com/wa...lhIc-ByUmU Soiree - You Keep Me Hanging On (1978) DISCO http://www.youtube.com/wa...YjnSr13mHI Mary Wilson

it would have to be the original Supremes version, wouldn't it?  "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

Basically, lol. I got a version of that song from #1's where it's extended and concludes with Diana singing "So...let me be/set me free..." I like that, lol. | |

I dunno. I LOVE the Supermes' origial....but I also enjoy the tacky electro Kim Wilde version. Especially around the end, when the hard synth riff is repeated ova and ova again.
Aretha's vesrion ain't half bad either. [Edited 2/19/08 0:47am] I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

I haven't heard all those versions (and can't be bothered at the moment cause my internets is running so f'n slow!) but it will be hard to get past the fire that the funk brothers laid down on the Supremes version.
I would call the intro the greatest one note guitar riff ever! There's a cool instrumental version on the "standing in the shadows of motown" soundtrack. Can't find it on youtube but you can get a preview here: http://www.amazon.com/Sta...667&sr=8-3 Hot! _ Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss... | |

Which version do you deem best? The Supremes http://www.youtube.com/wa...MKaRKbsswM Kim Wilde http://www.youtube.com/wa...NyRU0fKHAY Those 2 are the only versions worth talking about. The Supremes' version is THE Motown Classic. Kim Wilde's version is great as a 80's pop-rock track. The synths & guitars work very together. | |

The Supremes' version is the best of course. [Edited 2/20/08 14:08pm] "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ
