    My favourite round so far. Feel bad eliminating any of them but that’s the game. Here goes....

    Gladys Knight and the Pips Midnight Train To Georgia
    The Drifters Under The Boardwalk
    Muddy Waters Mannish Boy - kicking myself for not nominating this as I’d be very happy if it beat all my entries and won the entire comp!
    Prince Purple Rain

    Al Wilson The Snake v Gladys Knight and the Pips Midnight Train To Georgia - really like her voice
    Little Willie John Fever v The Drifters Under The Boardwalk - both great songs, but not my favourite Fever version
    Muddy Waters Mannish Boy v Run DMC It's Like That - classic blues
    Prince Purple Rain v Kool & The Gang Celebration - One of the best songs ever

    It’s a great song and I feel bad for voting against it. This is a seriously strong round but Mannish Boy is a class above all the rest. Even Purple Rain.

    I missed a few matches. One of my nominations is gone - Sister Sledge He's the Greatest Dancer-, but another got through - Michael Jackson Human Nature.

    Al Wilson The Snake v Gladys Knight and the Pips Midnight Train To Georgia - Never heard it before but it sounds great.

    Little Willie John Fever v The Drifters Under The Boardwalk - Great song, had not heard that version before.

    Muddy Waters Mannish Boy v Run DMC It's Like That - Cool blues.

    Prince Purple Rain v Kool & The Gang Celebration - Epic tune.

    Voting for Muddy Waters because I've always hated that Run DMC remix (the original ain't great either but it's less annyoing)

    Fun fact about Human Nature that I saw on a BBC 4 documentary about "yacht rock"!
    It was written by Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro. The following musicians from Toto play on this song: Steve Porcaro, fellow keyboardist David Paich, guitarist Steve Lukathar and drummer Jeff Porcaro. It's also arranged by the two Steves and David.

    In relation to the last song (Give Up etc.), I wonder was that it's original title! If you did not hear the story of Le Freak, you would be surprised how it came about and what the initial lyrics by Nile Rodgers were!

    Edit: I'm assuming I'm too late for these ones - I was just quoting, not voting!

    My votes in bold:

    The Stylistics You Make Me Feel Brand New v Soul 2 Soul Back To Life - Beautiful soul ballad with lovely vocal harmonies...and it's one of my nominations!

    Big Mama Thornton Hound Dog v Four Tops Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
    Pleasant pop/soul tune. Was tempted to go for the other even though I had not heard that version before!

    Mississippi John Hurt Talking Casey v The Supremes You Can't Hurry Love - Pleasant catchy tune from one of the great female soul acts of the 1960s.

    Whitney Houston I Have Nothing v Shaggy feat. Rikrok It Wasn't Me - ABSTAIN as I don't like either.
