Hitch Hike
written by Marvin Gaye, William "Mickey" Stevenson & Clarence Paul
The Rolling Stones covered this Marvin Gaye hit in 1965. It was included on both the US and UK versions of Out Of Our Heads. It's their third album, on which there are several cover songs. It was not a hit, and was not released as a single.
The original was much more interesting. It was Gaye's first top 40 hit in 1963 (the single came out in late 1962). Gaye plays drums on the track, and is backed up vocally by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. It started the brief Hitch Hike dance craze.

P.S. We all know how David Allan delivered the song. This message is to give John a well-deserved moment. 😄😄😄 _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto

Kind of the idea of this thread is to show the cover version side by side with the original version so we can compare them.
Are you listening to anything other than John Foster these days? _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

I wish that we could hear the rest of the performance. Even with the legendary David Foster's lack of knowledge where the song is concerned, John Foster (no relation there) is who makes the performance as beautiful as it is. 😄😄😄
P.S. Foster is John's middle name. His last name is Benoit and because it is a French name, it is pronounced Ben Wa. 😄😄😄 _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto
