Bella Didn't Phil Collins do a version of 'You Can't Hurry Love' which was the Supremes song? Mandy was originally Brandy by Scott English released in UK 1970 on The Horse label (part of Trojan Reggae Label) Pat x |

Christine, Took me ages to remember the originals of those UB40 versions, BUT if it means that even ONE person will look for the original Reggae or Soul versions and enjoy them, it's worth it :-) Yeah sorry reading back it does look a bit show off :-( Still I will leave it there anyway. Pat x |
