Thanks for that, Vincent. It's a real shame that both 'Always Something There to Remind me' and 'Message to Martha (Kentucky Bluebird)' failed to be major hits for Lou Johnson as I think they're the best versions. Here he is with a Bacharach/David rarity which became very popular on the Northern Soul circuit in the 80s:

Bonjour Martin;

Thanks for your post.

I have to go with Dionne on, 'Always Something There to Remind me'!

Different strokes for different folks.

Take care;

Vincent

Ty Vince for re posting it..I think Lou did a marvelous job on "Something There"...
He did great on the other, but I prefer the uptempo number...
