Michelle Branch and Santana did a great song they renamed The Game of Love

Anybody that likes Gregg Alexander and the New Radicals isn't fooled. This is vintage Alexander, one of the most underrated pop writers of the 90's with the New Radicals.

Not the same song at all, but here's a live performance of "Game of Love," the 1965 hit by Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders . . . (he includes another song by the same songwriter)

@Setanta,

Funny you should mention Clint Ballard Jr, the writer of that song. He also wrote "You're No Good" that was covered by Bette Everett and Linda Ronstadt

@panzade,

I thought, and Set posted, that Betty Everett did the original - does Clint B have a version that predates it?

PS I used to like playing the bass solo in the Ronstadt version in an early band. Not really a solo if you doing it note for note, but I was a hack.

@hingehead,

I think Set posted The Game Of Love originally by Wayne F and the Mindbenders. He might have thought it was the same as the Michelle Branch one I posted.

I remembered that Clint had written You're No Good and Dionne Warwick's sister had put it out. Dee Dee, about 2 weeks before B Everett.
Here's the "Mod" version

Awesome bass line!

@panzade,

I'm confusing myself - you posted You're no good a few pages back, not Set.

This morning i heard Emilie-Claire Barlow singing "Sunshine Superman." This song has been covered by several groups and individuals, including Hüsker Dü and Mel Tormé. Here's the original from Donovan Leitch:

I heard Nazareth doing Love Hurts and remembered that I had the original 45 by the Everly Brothers.

@panzade,

I remember when the Nazareth version came out, it competed in the Australian charts with Jim Capaldi's version - at the time I had no idea that it was an Everly Brothers track. Being a Boudleaux Bryant song I was kind of hoping there was a recording before the Everly's but no - there's is it.

On behalf of Panz - who has posted the original of this in a couple of threads over the years, the original that inspired him to pick up the bass:

One of the coolest bands in 1967: Love.
Every garage band was playing their tune "My Little Red Book".

Imagine my surprise when I heard the writer's version!

How on earth did Iggy Pop find a 30 year old Australian track from our first 'king of pop'; Johnny O'Keefe?

Blondie had a hit with a slicker version of this tune by The Nerves. I think both renditions are pretty swell.
