Hello All,

I made changes then I had a double up and then made changes to the wrong version

The one above is all correct - I hope. It has been one of those days!

Hello All,

Judge for yourself - "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" is a song written by Marvin Gaye, Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield, and first recorded by Gaye in 1962. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJVXyV8BPzA]MARVIN GAYE wherever i lay my hat - YouTube[/ame]

Then in the 1980s Paul Young did his version [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JirtzJM_fJQ]Paul Young - Wherever I lay my Hat HD Lyrics on screen - YouTube[/ame]


The Paul Young version was helped along by the brilliant bass playing of Pino Palladino who credits Stravinsky. There is a short part of a documentary that explains the influence of the bass line on the Paul Young version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRjiM...?v=TRjiMN2qJHI

All clips access 31st of July 2014 from various links on Youtube

Kind Regards

^^ Good choice there Lionel

Norman Whitfield, Barret Strong and Holland-Dozier-Holland are among my favourite teams of writers I think I attended the "University Of Motown" as a youngster

Here's an example of Norman Whitfield's writing at it's best

“Money (That’s What I Want”—written by Barret Strong, with credit taken by Gordy and Janie Bradford and performed by Barrett Strong—was the company’s first national hit, reaching number two on the R&B charts and crossing over to the Top 40. It turned out to be as prophetic as it was strong.

With the assistance of Wikipeda and YouTube ... Accessed 1st of August 2014 from, Feeling Good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Feeling Good" (also known as "Feelin' Good") is a song written by English songwriters Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd. The song was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant on the UK tour, and by Gilbert Price in the original Broadway cast in 1965.

Nina Simone recorded the song for her 1965 album I Put a Spell on You and it became a standard. The song has been covered by many artists, most notably by English rock band Muse, Michael Bublé, George Michael, and Eels. Oh and Frank Sinatra did a cover too Wikipedia did not mention that. It is probably why Bublé did a copy.

Nina Simone really made the song her own.

Lionel , that was great. I've never heard a Dobro guitar AFAIK, this has been a most informative thread, for me.

G'day Bob,

Sorry it took me a while to notice your reply about Dobro - resonator guitars.

While some people dump on Wikipedia it is a source of good primer information. The Wikipedia article about resonator guitars and the branches of their types such as Dobros makes for an interesting read. Accessed 1st of August, 2014, from Resonator guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kind Regards
