Who sang the original ?.

Hi all.
Do you know who originally sang the song “Can’t be with you tonight”.

Here’s a crap midi file of it that someone made… http://members.irishacts.com/cant_be_with_you_tonight.mid

I’m trying to track down the name of the original artist so I can sequence up a version identical to the original.

Any idea’s ?.
Also… did Neil Diamond do a version of this song ?.

Regards.
Sharp

Hi Sharp,



"This album was made in 1986. The title track was taken as a single and became a UK hit in 1987, then took the rest of the world like a storm. This 4 times platinum chart selling topper is still available, and is to date Judy's best selling album."

More interesting info on how this song came to be a hit for Judy on her artist page at Kufe Records.

Cheers,
Rich

Hello.

Thanks a million for that but are you sure ?.
I had originally searched the net inside out and found that Judy only released a Reggae cover version of the song in 2001 when it was actually wrote back in the 80’s sometime.

I could be wrong.
Did Judy originally release a Ballade / 8 Beat type version of it back in the 80’s ?. If so, that would be that’s the version I’m trying to find the music score of.

Cheers for all your help.
Sharp.

Hi Sharp,

She seems to be the original artist... reaching #2 in May 1987 (UK) with the song, given to her by songwriter Felix da Silva. I just edited my previous post to include the direct link to her page. It's pretty interesting, what with the Lizzie Webb story...

Cheers,
Rich

Looks like the album was re-released in 2001...

MP3 Clip ... definitely 8 beat.

Cheers,
