I think the New Birth version can't be beat. The vocals are just among the best smooth Soul performances ever. | |

Well dammit! Just found out that our station's webstream is down for maintenance tonight, so unless you live in Virginia, you won't be able to listen.
But I'll post the link for the download tomorrow, so you can listen to it then. Sorry.  | |

I think the New Birth version can't be beat. The vocals are just among the best smooth Soul performances ever. Its very close though. I'll admit the harmonies and the extra "baa.. baa" background adlibs are gold. Now that I think about it, They are neck and neck. I love 'em both. I also love how Silk sang a cover of The New Birth version back in the mid 90's on New York Undercover: | |

I can actually answer that for them Vendetta. Wildflower was done previously by a group called "Skylark" if memory serves me Skylark's version was released in '71 or '2. New birth's version was a cover Here is the original ... with lead vocalist Donny Gerrard It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Hmmm .. I'll check into that. 
http://www.digitalprosoun...graham.htm And what led to your becoming a member of EW&F? Back in Kentucky, where I was raised, I played with some friends who later became a group named New Birth. I played with the New Birth on dates around the Midwest occasionally, but when the New Birth started doing serious time on the road, I was in electronic school and stayed home in Louisville. One day in 1972, I got a call from this guy named Maurice White; he told me that the guys in the New Birth had told him about me and he wanted me to come to Hollywood and join his group called Earth, Wind & Fire. I had never heard of this group and I was the top student in my class at the electronics institute, so I told Maurice, "No man, I can't come to Hollywood � I'm in school right now." But three days later, I called Maurice back and told him to send me a ticket. So, that's how I got into EW&F. test | |
