Raleigh Mosely [2022] - I Choose You [Stone Diamond Music Corp]


A new version of one of Willie Hutch's classics "I Choose You" by Miami's Raleigh Mosely. It was also recoded by Chicago Gangsters so I'm not even going to try to compare against the 70s versions, but nice to hear and perhaps some may be hearing the song or the first time so if it turns them on to Willie Hutch then that would be a bonus. It's a good enough excuse to post the originals which I'm pretty sure have been posted before.

Willie Hutch's version is from "The Mack" (1973) and came out as a B side to "Brother's Gonna Work  It Out" on Motown. The Chicago Gangsters mega 9:20 min version is from their 1975 album "Blind Over You", they did release an earlier shorter (4:15) version as a single on Red Coach.

Cornell CC Carter covered it in 2017 on his "Vindicated Soul" album. I'm not aware of any other versions, although I'm sure it has been sampled dozens of times by many others, (especially hip-hoppers) e.g. Deitrick Haddon "Count Your Blessings" ("7 Days"), Jaheim "The Chosen One" ("Ghetto Classics") both in 2006. Here is probably not the best place to explore further, so I may do a separate post on it.
