Rose Royce - classic

Fresh 4 featuring Liz E - classic

Presumably new version, with guy singing, on the radio this lunchtime - big dud!

But who is it???

Paul Weller?

Yes. It's hideously dud.

Big mistake not having any syndrums on the remake.

The Urban Shakedown remix of the 88.3 version is the bestest.

I was trying to think who the Weller versh reminds me of and it's just hit me - Kenny Thomas! A man who seemingly constructed a whole career out of ruining soul classics.

The Urban Shakedown remix of the 88.3 version is the bestest.

I wonder what the largest number of acts is with "Urban" in their name which have appeared in the UK top 40 simultaneously? I think there may have been a time when Urban Shakedown, Urban Hype and Urban Cookie Collective were all in there, tho I may well be wrong.
