RICHIE HAVENS - GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS

thats the original disco tune
fpi robbed

mm..........

if you play it at normal speed male vocal

if you play it at oldskool bowlers speed (ie +6
it sounds like a chipmunk sorry a woman

black cover version remixes is easily the best version

And with all that effort I put in to that message as wellll......

The Lamont Dozier one is probably the coolest of the lot, although it's a close one between that and Richie Havens.

Deffo think Richie boy done the one the threads about.

It's gotta be the Richie Havens version you're after. He pretty much made the track famous. He played at Glastonbury this year on the Jazz Stage. He also came on with Groove Amanda near the end of their set on the Other Stage and they played Going Back to My Roots as the last tune. It was spot on.
Btw his version was also on an old bootleg along with the instrumental of Q-Words - That's Choice.

Trivia alert. Richie Havens opened Woodstock too.

who would've thought a tune from 1969 would still sound so rocking. If you haven't got this .... GET IT!

Beat me to it. Lamont Dozier didn't write it till the mid seventies. I know cause I've got his version as well.
