Take the ribbon from my hair!

Big history on this track originally a country & western song performed by Sammi Smith in 1970 and written by the uber talented Kris Kristofferson who wrote many hundreds of masterpieces.

It has fantastic and very well known lyrics.

It was then covered by Gladys Knight in 1971 - which is a truly amazing version with the most delightful vocals (and is pure Balearic brilliance).

It then got a re-working for clubland as we know it in 1996 by Huff & Puff, followed by some excellent Rollo and Sister Bliss remixes in 1997.

All very notable tracks and great versions, but you'll never beat the Gladys Knight version IMHO (although probably not the most club friendly version - in that case plump for the Huff & Puff - Deep Mix).

All great tracks and a great example of the evolution of dance music and it's reliance on the past!

(Rollo and Sister Bliss '97 Remix)

Gladys Knight & The Pips - 

Help Me Make It Through The Night

"Sorry won't fix it, no not anymore!"

 A sensational track from 1994.

This track has everything, great vocals, a superb catchy rhythm, great build up and of course those beautiful piano breakdowns we all know and love.

"Sorry won't fix it, no not anymore!"

Top drawer!

Get on it!

Gladys Knight - Next Time 

(Spike Club Mix)

Everybody wants to be....Bourgie, Bourgie!

 I'd previously posted the Ashord & Simpson version and other associated mixes, but it's such a fabulous track that it is certainly worth another post.

An absolute PCC.

Great remix by Dave Lee(who has now abandoned the Joey Negro monicker).

His remixes always respect the original and tweak and enhance, like all good remixes should.

Close to perfection!

Enjoy!
