BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…

These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.

Whatta Man

 

In 1993, 2 all-female hip hop groups joined forces on the single "Whatta Man". Their collaboration flew to the Top 10 in America, Britain and Australia. It was a new take on a 1968 single by Linda Lyndell. Her original was issued by Stax Records.
