    This was originally recorded in 1961 by the Shirelles and made the Top Ten. The Beatles (with an emotional John on lead) covered this memorably on one of their early albums. They loved performing girl group songs. This groovy Smith cover from 1969 was a #5 hit.

      The versatility of the songwriting of Burt Bacharach and Hal David! Their songs worked for pop, rock, soul/R&B, country, and even jazz. This is just about the most rocking version of a Bacharach-David tune I can recall.

      A format that might work is to react to all three versions in one day of reactions: The Shirelles, the early Beatles cover, and this one. Three very different styles, but the song works (props to Bacharach and David).

      disagree completely, this loses the emphasis of the song on the title line dispite having a nice late sixties hippy groove. Shirley sings the song as intended without over indulging for the sake of effect, making the Shirelles version work better except for the crap organ solo.

      @yoyodynepropulsionsystems 22 дні тому +1

      @@keithwarrington2430 "For the sake of effect" completely diminishes the power and bluesy tone that Gayle McCormick sang with. Smith was a rock group that adapted this song to their way of performing. The Shirelles were a pop group who sang the song in that late 50s/very early 60s style that so many girl groups had. I like each version for different reasons. Denigrating the talents of one singer does not elevate the talents of another.

      I do love the original version by The Shirelles. Before I even heard that version, being a Beatles fan from the '60s, I heard it by The Fab Four first and I liked that version as well. In spite of having a sore throat, John Lennon does a pretty good vocal delivery. But this version is a powerhouse! One thing that all great bands do is make a song their own, and they certainly did that here. Heart should have covered this version, I can hear Ann Wilson belting this out!

    As you viewers will tell you, this Burt Bachrach-written song was one of the Shirelles great hits in 1961 and then was covered by the Beatles in 1963 and was on their album Introducing the Beatles released in the U.S. in early '64 when Beatlemania "exploded". The Shirelles' version was so perfect that the Beatles did it exactly the same, note for note. You've heard the Shirelles once but you should hear more of their great classic hits.

    Gayle deserves FAR more attention and notice than she EVER received in her lifetime!

      [A classic song by the LEGENDARY Allen Toussaint!
      First released by ...I believe it was a singer named Ernie Kador (but I think he had a stage-name. ...I forget the deets. (Apologies).🤷)
      Gayle McCormick was the second to release it [and she kills it all up and down the planet!🔥🔥🔥🔥].
      The song was, later, covered by: Rufus (the band), as well [with Chaka Khan singing lead].🔥🔥 ].
      "Take Me Back"
      and
      "Near You""
      [cuts 1 & 2 on the album] are, also" undeniable! 🔥🤘🤘

    Adele performed this song with Burt Bacharach (who wrote the song) in concert in 2008. You should really check that out!

    Great tune! Great cover!! Great voice! She was definitely someone’s idea to cash in on the Janis style in ‘69.

    Back in the early 60's I was watching a local TV "talent show" in St. Louis on Sunday morning. One of the contestants was a teenage singer who was obviously very good. She won the contest for that day. A few years later she pops up in 1968 as the lead singer for Smith, and has a One Hit Wonder that is still classic even today. The music industry never quite knew what to do with Gayle, and after several years of being screwed around she basically called it quits and came back home to St. Louis. But she left us with such great memories of that year, and many of us discovered our teenage hormones while watching her perform on TV.

    RIP Gayle McCormick (1948-2016) The former lead singer for the rock band Smith, who's biggest hit in 1969 was a cover of Burt Bacharach's "Baby It's You", which hit #5. Smith had 2 more entries on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1970; "Take A Look Around" (#43) and "What Am I Gonna Do" (#73). And even bubbled under at #101 with "Comin' Back To Me (Ooh Baby). Smith broke up in 1971 and McCormick went on to a solo career. Her first solo song "Gonna Be Alright Now" went to # 84 (Hot 100) & at # 20 (Adult Contemporary) in August of 1971. Her first Hot 100 entry, "It's A Cryin' Shame", missed the Top 40 in 1971, peaking at #44 (Here's a video of it: ua-cam.com/video/TRkvhoduIxI/v-deo.html) Her next entry in 1972, a cover of The Miracles' "You Really Got A Hold On Me", fared no better, getting as high as #98. McCormick's version has a soul/blues infusion that deserved a better chart fate. In 1973, McCormick married and relocated to Hawaii. Her last song was "Coming In, Out Of The Rain" that went to # 46 (Adult Contemporary) on Shady Brook Records (released only as a 45 single) in October of 1975 & that was her last swan song. She eventulally retired to suburban Saint Louis where she passed away in 2016.

    As many have let you know already this singer is Gayle McCormick. Smith wasn't around long and she did have a bit of a solo career. I heard the original version by the Shirelles and the Beatles cover when I was little and just starting to listen to music. Then this version came along and blew me away. What a voice. There are many versions since then, and I love the Shirelles and Beatles ones, but this one is my favorite.

    I knew you would eventually get around to Gayle and this song. I recommended it to you a couple years ago. Gayle could sure belt it out. Glad you liked it.

    Someone else has already mentioned that the original was recorded by the Shirelles. However, if you listen closely to that version, you will hear the composer, Burt Bacharach's voice doing the background vocals with the other singers. The recording was supposed to be a demo, but was released as it was.

    Thank you! I've been waiting for this one. Gayle McCormick was a seriously great singer and this is the best version of the song, even better than The Beatles' cover.
    Please try Bjork's 1990s cover of a 1940s song called "It's Oh So Quiet." That's another voice that will surprise you. You'll love her.

    Joe Cocker - "Woman To Woman". Jay might recognize the riff as it was sampled by both 2Pac and EPMD.

    These guys covered this early 60’s song after The Beatles covered it and they had their version go up the charts higher than the Beatles! Love this version!!
