Expect this has been done on these threads before, but if it has, it hasn't been done recently. Songs recorded by people better known for something else entirely. The Charmer ... Ugly Woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUPxElXRTtQ The Charmer is nowadays better known as Nation Of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan |

People generally know about Vinegar Joe - the rock band that Elkie Brooks was in with Robert Palmer. But she started out in northern soul. Elkie Brooks - He's Gotta Love Me (1965) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC9shR0PuEA And that's a bit of a classic too. I expect Milchy and Bov will be familiar with it anyway (and probably others) but still... not exactly Pearl's A Singer is it. |

Right, so you probably know that Snoop Dog is now a reggae artist called Snoop Lion, which may have qualified him for either this or the atypical recordings thread anyway. But how about Eddie Murphy releasing a reggae track (with a guest spot from Snoop)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fknfwlzt ... r_embedded |

Not heard that before Kev. Pretty shit, but definitely fits the theme of the thread. |

How about this Eddie Murphy song then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTc6YGn5zU0 I spent £1 on that LP in a charity shop last year just for that song. |

There's a special circle of Hell for people who mangle the Beatles...Eddie Murphy's there, and this guy too. You probably all know William Shatner's 'musical' efforts but he wasn't taking the piss back in the 60s, he meant this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB3uVARNhmM (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) |
