Probably not one for the purists, but the new single from
Pink Sweat$ (David Bowden from Philadelphia) is a cover of Bill Wither's classic "Ain't No Sunshine" taken from an upcoming biographical film "Spinning Gold" which is due to hit theatres on 31 Mar '23. It is the story of former
Buddah record executive Neil Bogart who formed Casablanca Records in
1973.
The film is written and directed by Bogart's son Timothy Scott Bogart as
Bogart died in 1982 aged only 39. As we have reported previously, the
movie stars Ledisi playing Gladys Knight.
Why a Withers song? Well "Ain't No Sunshine" was originally released as
the B side to "Harlem" on Sussex Records in 1971 and the label was
distributed by Buddah I guess, although the record was release by A&M
in the UK.
It's the first track to be released from the soundtrack which will be
released the same day as the movie (i.e. 31 Mar '23).
I was gong to direct you to the Amazon listing by clicking on image for
full track listing but it doesn't give the artists, so here is the full track listing with many familiar songs but all cover versions? Pink Sweat$ aloo records another two of Withers' songs, but sadly Ledisi only features on one, a cover of Gladys Knight & The Pips.
