The Chi Lites -- "Go Away Dream"

"Go Away Dream" was first released in 1973 on the album ChiLites for the Brunswick label. 

There are some Lovers Rock covers by The Tamlins and Delroy Wilson which didn't even come close to the original. 

I do like the Jesse Green version, however.

Donny Hathaway -- "For All We Know"

Donny Hathaway's voice, as smooth, soft, and silky it may be, has the tendency to pull me down. There's that heavy dose of melancholy in his singing that seems to be contagious. Nevertheless -- or just because of these qualities -- I love his singing.


   




And here is the Spinner's version of the song from 1967

Ali Ollie Woodson -- "No Tears In Your Eyes

 Ali Ollie Woodson was a fantastic singer with tons of charisma -- the epitome of a true Temptations singer, in my opinion. I must admit, though, that I have not heard this beautiful tune before. What a rare gem! 

You'll find it on this compilation at Amazon.com
