Earlier this year I posted
Valentino v Carl Bean. Carl Bean died on Tuesday (7 Sep 2021) and there is an obituary in
The Guardian.
I revisited Valentino's original version on YouTube and noticed that Chris Spierer, the
co-writer of the song, left the following
comment:
"Thank you so much for posting this.
My name is Chris Spierer and I wrote this song with Bunny Jones back in
1974. It has been covered by many artists such as The Pet Shop Boys, Magnus
Carlsson, Jimmy Somerville, Johnny Rodriguez, Paul Oskar, Dimitri From
Paris, Marty Thomas, Pour Homme, Another Gay Movie as well as Carl
Bean..It has also been sampled numerous times.
You're hearing Stevie Wonder on drums!!
I am playing the guitar along with great musicians from New York."
