The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Covers, Reissues, Remixes & Samples Part 27 (Sep 2021 Wk 38)



My selection of this week's best cover versions, remixes, reissues, previously unreleased and new songs using samples or new releases with a retro feel (Sep 2021 Wk 38). (In no particular order apart from tempo).

Mainly reissues this week with a couple of covers and  a few tracks using samples or being influenced by other songs.

Anthony Hamilton covers "Superstar" with the assistance of Jennifer Hudson and samples/is influenced by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes "I Miss You" on "I Thought We Were In Love" on his new album.

Two tracks from Dyson's Faces self-titled 1977 album get a reissue, and first release, on 7" vinyl.  Another first timer on 7" vinyl by William Stuckey.

A couple of the outstanding tracks on a new Al Green compilation of orchestral rearrangements  "Give Me More Love". 

John White's only album "Night People" got a digital reissue so here's his best selling single from that album.

The Intruders cover a song written and recorded by Earl Lassiter in 1992. New Italian outfit The Hal Mingo Project release a homage to Barry White's "I've Go So Much to Give".

LeGrand Whitt's album track is heavily influenced by "Inner City Blues" and finally new artist Blair Perkins samples Teena Marie's "Deja Vu (I've Been Here Before)" on "Good".
