Yesterday I posted a new version of the modern soul tune 'You And
I' by Leroy Allen and commented that after 40 years I was surprised that
two versions of the song were released in the same week, by Gil on 16 Apr and Allen on 23 Apr.
When I originally posted the Gil version I also posted the 1980 Rockie
Robbins version which I thought to be the original, but a regular blog
reader 'bluesky' has pointed out that it was actually released by a one
album, one single band Galaxy in 1978 on their 'Hot, Wet And Sticky'
album.
He also informed me that Glenn Jones released a version recently. In
fact I've discovered that there are three versions, the original from 17
Oct 2018 followed by two alternate versions, a smooth jazz version and
an R&B version in 2019. The latter two versions were subsequently released
on a 45 by Expansion in 2020. The R&B version also appeared on
Expansion's 'Soul Togetherness 2019' compilation.
So, to close the loop, as it were, here are the other known versions.
Galaxy [1978] - You & Me [Arista #AB 4211]
Glenn Jones [2018] You & Me [Talent Room Entertainment]
Glenn Jones [2020] You & Me (R&B Version) [Expansion #EXS023 A]
Glenn Jones [2020] You & Me (Smooth Jazz Version) [Expansion #EXS023 B]
