HIT SONG…

These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.

Don’t Look Back

In 1978, reggae artist Peter Tosh shared lead vocals on the single "Don't Look Back" with Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones. The disc was issued under the title "(You Got To Walk And) Don't Look Back". While the single failed to crack the US and British Top 40, it did peak at #20 in Australia.

The song was penned by 2 members of The Miracles: Smokey Robinson and Ronald White. Motown released the original version. Recorded by The Temptations, the single was issued in 1965. It was included on the group's 'Temptin' Temptations' album. Although the disc did not dent the Pop Top 40 in America, it did reach #14 on the Billboard Soul Chart.
