this one i found as usual on a bargain bin hunt and i do believe it was in diamond records. i used to go there quite often to go through bins but i don't like the clerk and i take it he doesn't like me either. anyhow, i grabbed this one without knowing the track but it had two long versions by tenaglia and claussell. tenaglias version is good but claussells 14 minute exercise in drums, synths and giving the diva the space to really explore the whole track is remarkable.
claussell calls it a disco club mix and he doesn't take that name in vain since it really is disco. well at least the kind of salsoul in that era when the dj's and producers radically transformed songs while still still just using the original as their main source.
i planned to do drop a line on this some months ago but then i believe i couldn't find a sample nor it being available on digital. it probably was available and i just was lazy but anyhow. now that i found it also on spotify i had a listen to some of the other versions. ashley beedle & co's version (the spiritual vocal & dub) are nice.
i have that on my cdsingle but just as an edit but the second version i want to recommend is the companion piece to claussell's main version. the "spritual life rhumba" version and that also is a fourteen minute epic and spends the first half with out a kick and just this mesmerising bongo groove. awesome intro or something you can use to fuck around with the main version.
