Careless Whispers - Killing Me Softly - Thinking Of You

R

richierumba

Got me copies of the above tracks & would love to know who they're by and from which CDs if anyone out there's got that info.

Just to clarify:

'Careless Whispers' is not the Palabra version & 'Thinking Of You' (that's what I'm calling it - not sure if it's the title!)is not Lenny Kravitz - it's a different song which I think was a chart hit in the UK in the seventies. Here's the chorus lyrics if it helps:

I’m thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy
I’m thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy

And who sings the funky R&B/ salsa mash up which I call 'Don't You Remember?'

'You told me that you wouldn't be a player no more,
Don't you remember what you told me?'

Any info gratefully received.
 
Welcome Richierumba! :D

It's probably Playa no more by Crystal Sierra. :P

Here is a good link with a lot of salsa songs in English (that e.g. salsero and MacMoto has posted before). :arrow: michbuze.club.fr/zik/salsacovers.htm There are two versions of Killing me softly listed there. :P

That's a cover of Sister Sledge's "Thinking of You" by Monday Michiru.
See this thread:
http://www.salsaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1513

It's in her "Free Soul Collection" album as well as a compilation CD called "The Very Best of World Divas".

The "don't you remeber" song is "Playa No More" by Crystal Sierra as pr says.

Don't know about "Careless Whisper" -- I only know the Palabra version.
 
Thanks pr - 4 the welcome and the info.

Yes, yes, yes - 'Playa No More' - that's it.

Thanks also 4 http://michbuze.club.fr/zik/salsacovers.htm - knew of it but checked it again and neither of the 2 'Killing Me Softly' are the one I have.

Still hunting then... Anybody rise to the challenge? Artists names for salsa versions of 'Killing Me Softly', 'Careless Whispers' (not Palabra) & 'Thinking Of You' (not Kravitz - in fact different song)
 
Yep I was down there, trying to get my mambo down. But we haven't met, have we? if we have then i throw myself on your mercy as faces rather than names are stronger with me.
 
We haven't met - but I visited your web site and thought I recognised you.

I get a lift back with Alistair and Fliss and they mentioned that Richard was the only person from the mambo crowd in attendance last night.

I put one and one together and...well I'm sure Columbo would be impressed with my powers of deduction :)

Anyway, I'm the tall guy who ate up your slot and stood on yours or your partner's feet a couple of times (sorry).
 
Hey Andrew - I can't speak for Columbo but I'm certainly impressed. yeah the mambo crowd used to go there regularly on a Tuesday but they've changed - they go to a place in Leytonstone now which is more convenient for most of them.

I don't remeber being trodden on - but that may be more to do with my memory!!!!

Anyway, I've got your face now and will say hi if I'm down there again on a Tuesday.

all the best.
