Looking for a cover version of Long and Winding Road recorded between 1979 - 1984 similar to Dick Smith’s one but more mellow. The song is jazzy and sung by an Afro American.

Thank you Sebcat. Did listen to the Dick Smith version. The backing vocals are similar to the version am looking for but the lead voice is not. It seems that the version am looking for was recorded earlier than the Dick Smith one and Dick Smith imitated the backing vocals.

Thank you VirileVagabond. I have the Billy Ocean version in my collection.


I got nothing for you then. I checked for any covers in my notes from around this time but weren't currently on site, but came up empty for anything that would meet your description....

A bit out of the time scope, there's Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Donny Gerrard, Larry Johnson, Phil Trim, etc
