Dear folks,

I am looking for a version of the song "Tell it like it is", which is
not sung by Percy Sledge or Don Johnson. Does anybody know of another
male artist performing this song? The only thing I remember is a more
rock-styley version than that sung by Percy Sledge.

Thanks, in advantage
Thomas

Darned if I can remember his name, but the black dude who did a few duets
with Linda Ronstadt did it back in 67. HE works out of New ORleans with his
brothers...it'll come to me....nice version...best one so far...

Aaron Neville did the original version of that song, as well as a few
duets with Linda Ronstadt.

Maybe Aaron Neville, or the NevilleBros.

And so the word went out from Thomas Wagner <thomas.wa...@freenet.de>:

According to Robin Hood's transcript here:

http://lyrics.natalnet.com.br/summer.html

Aaron Neville charted with it in '67 (#2 on Billboard), Andy Williams hit #72
with it in '76 and Heart charted at #8 in '81. I couldn't find any versions by
Percy Sledge, did he do it? Hope this helps.

Cheers,

TD

I could whistle up an old tune
That your memory might recall
Rustle up some reminisce
'Bout the good old days and all
from Harry Chapin's "If My Mary Were Here"
