VERSION (WAKE UP EVERYBODY) * PUZZLE PEOPLE * GROUNATION 2062 * UK
A Version of Wake Up Everybody by Puzzle People, vocal by O. C. Roberts, originally recorded by Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes. Wake Up Everybody is one of those Versions that work well for me because of the dramatic and portentous lyrics, as when they are fed out in paired down snatches cutting into what is often a heavy abstract musical passage the effect can be compelling, aesthetically pleasing and sometimes thought provoking.
