Tommy Hunt "Don't Make Me Over"

Yes, that song that Dionne Warwick also sings. He did the original version and did not chart.

I've never heard of this version.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Tommy was also a very great dancer. He was a member of the Flamingos.

Wow, this song is evidence of the amazing talent of Warwick. You have almost the same reading of the lyrics but there is an emotional pull that is missing from this version that makes it almost boring to listen to.

He was a bass singer. He also recorded I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself before Dionne.

Never heard the Tommy Hunt version of "Don't Make Me Over" before.

I first became familiar with the song back in '89/90 when Sybil covered it.
