Hi all.
Do you know who originally sang the song �Can�t be with you tonight�.

Here�s a crap midi file of it that someone made� http://members.irishacts.com/cant_be_with_you_tonight.mid

I�m trying to track down the name of the original artist so I can sequence up a version identical to the original.

Any idea�s ?.
Also� did Neil Diamond do a version of this song ?.

Regards.
Sharp

Hi Sharp,



"This album was made in 1986. The title track was taken as a single and became a UK hit in 1987, then took the rest of the world like a storm. This 4 times platinum chart selling topper is still available, and is to date Judy's best selling album."

More interesting info on how this song came to be a hit for Judy on her artist page at Kufe Records.

Cheers,
Rich

Hello.

Thanks a million for that but are you sure ?.
I had originally searched the net inside out and found that Judy only released a Reggae cover version of the song in 2001 when it was actually wrote back in the 80�s sometime.

I could be wrong.
Did Judy originally release a Ballade / 8 Beat type version of it back in the 80�s ?. If so, that would be that�s the version I�m trying to find the music score of.

Cheers for all your help.
Sharp.

Hi Sharp,

She seems to be the original artist... reaching #2 in May 1987 (UK) with the song, given to her by songwriter Felix da Silva. I just edited my previous post to include the direct link to her page. It's pretty interesting, what with the Lizzie Webb story...

Cheers,
Rich

Looks like the album was re-released in 2001...

MP3 Clip ... definitely 8 beat.

Cheers,
Rich
