Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston by Sandy Gritt

[Gritter]

Just a great song...in any style (or time signature?) Recorded live. Guitar and voice.

When I play this one as a DJ, I always get a woody when the chorus comes in. Pure dance floor excitement.

Thanks for listening,

Sandy.

Fantastic, a real cool whimsical and delicate feel to it.

Hope your guitar stayed on your lap during the chorus

I got my info from Wikipedia also. Obviously it's a little confusing...

Looks like she did both songs but the latter was a studio recording she released. The former she's covering live:

You sure Ike didn`t write this for her?  That was a terrible joke!

I got my info from Wikipedia also...

Never think Wikipedia is always the truth. It`s like the news. I found many lies and misconceptions on there before.



Anyways great performance as usual Grit!! Your recordings sound so awesome to me.

[Facemask93]

[cuthbert]

Cool Gritty version...really dig the dynamics on this. It's kinda dirgey...and I like it!

[Hilary]

You've captured a really great sound there Sandy and a powerful performance.
