Baby Bash, Cota & The Vibes [2023] - The Entertainer [Trejo’s Music Group]

Pleasantly surprised to see this crop up today. Baby Bash released a very good album "Souldies Nation" at the end of last year  which must have got lost in the festive mix as it was released on 23 Dec.

He's back, but instead of with The Bashtones, teams up with Cota and The Vibes on a cover of one of only two R&B hits achieved by Tony Clarke  who had an #10 R&B hit (#31 Hot 100) with "The Entertainer" in 1965. It has been a evergreen on the Northern Soul scene being reissued along with "Landslide" in the UK in 1974.

The supporting video is literally just hot of the press, being published an hour ago and, whilst Baby Bash takes lead billing, it appears to be Cota doing most of the lead vocals.

Cota [2021] - Confessin' A Feeling [Silent Giant]

Another sweet soul classic cover out of the Silent Giant stable. Cota provides his rendition of the Isaac Bolden song "Confessing' A Feeling". First recorded in 1970 by Tony Owens, but probably best known by Sly, Slick & Wicked's 1972 recording (below). The Ballads also recorded it in 1975.

Trish Toledo also recorded it for Silent Giant in 2018, which, for me, is a much better version (below). There have been a few other modern covers of the song. 

This version is too 'smoothed out' for me compared to any of the previous versions.
