Its all about the John Davis and Orchestra version for me though. Whether in its 6 minute disco or the sublime and definitive extended 12 minute mixed by John Morales. <br /><br />It also got nicely sampled on the 2003 French filtered house track Feel The Funk by Black Shampoo.<br /><br />Magical.Stephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-40590607137923303312022-04-28T17:16:30.272-04:002022-04-28T17:16:30.272-04:00One of the best songs ever.

And as mentioned, Joe Negro redid the Gladys Knight version in 2012. Any others?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-52920415397445429752021-06-02T08:59:06.222-04:002021-06-02T08:59:06.222-04:00I love the instrumental version of Bourgie Bourgie...I love the instrumental version of Bourgie Bourgie on Ashford and Simpson's album. Just enjoy hearing all the instruments, especially piano playing by Mrs. Simpson.

I got married to this song and have it as my alarm every morning when I wake up! I still hear new things in it each day, due to the complexity of arrangement and orchestration. It is exquisite, quite simply the best!redwards7nrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353233751916847155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-1072540013074030172011-04-13T19:15:42.914-04:002011-04-13T19:15:42.914-04:00It is not a John Davis cover as it was done first ...It is not a John Davis cover as it was done first by ashford and Simpson who wrote it.ExpatMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301804455445529890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-83113304810052332562011-04-13T11:11:49.044-04:002011-04-13T11:11:49.044-04:00Ashford and Simpson sing on the Monster Orchestra ...Ashford and Simpson sing on the Monster Orchestra cover, which in my opinion isn't campy at all, just nice and solid. <br />Wouldn't mind hearing the album (A&S)vocal version, as in my opinion the 12" instrumental B side is a bit weak.

Have you got a copy of The 2001 (I think) monster house anthem - Guitarra G by Banda Sonora. It draws heavily on the Ashford and Simpson version.<br /><br />DaveUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372518615449542276noreply@blogger.com
