The third and final instalment from the Trojan Lovers Box Set and as per disc 1 I've gone for the covers again.
In the order that they appear on the disc the first up is Marcia Griffiths with her version of Ewan MacColl's classic The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.Very good but not on a par with the Roberta Flack version but then again nothing is .
Marcia is followed by The Inner Circle with their cover of The Stylistic's You Make Me Feel Brand New.I've been listening to a bit of The Stylistics recently so this one was a no brainer
Finally The Uniques give us their version of You'll Lose a Precious Love a Smokey Robinson song but one best known thanks to the Temptations version.
Marcia Griffiths - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Inner Circle - You Make Me Feel Brand New
The Uniques - You'll Lose a Precious Love
The Marcia Griffiths track is surprisingly good.Actually, it is a belting version. Stylistics, you'll be listening to Leo Sayer next!
