The new single from L.A. singer/songwriter, producer/arranger Lisa
Dietrich is a cover of "Move Me No Mountain" originally recorded by Love
Unlimited in 1974, an album only cut on "In Heat". It was then covered by Dionne Warwick in 1975 (originally a UK only B side single in Jun 1975 later the sides were flipped around in Aug 1975. I was only an album track in US on "Then Came You") followed
by Chaka Khan in 1980 (again an album only track on "Naughty").
There have been a few subsequent covers by Soul II
Soul in 1992 (a #31 UK pop chart hit)and more recently in 2019 by Quiana Lynell. There are
probably others but these are the choice ones.
The song was written by prolific songwriter Jerry Ragovoy and Aaron Shroeder who was the head of Musicor Records and wrote seventeen songs and five #1 hits for Elvis Presley including "Its' Now Or Never" (aka just one cornetto!).
