Tobiasthegiant Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 [sup]Hey guys, wondering if you could settle my mind today[/sup] [sup]A piece of music came on the radio today, and the bass line sounded really similar to the intro/verse line in 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' but can't think for the life of me what it is. [/sup] [sup]Any ideas anyone?[/sup] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It amazes me that a whole new generation are hearing songs from my youth without even knowing it and thinking it's something new. It really is a strange old world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think there was a thread on here recently about these two songs. I do believe the writers of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' got a credit on Amy's album.

risingson Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'm a massive fan of the original tune but love Amy's version of it. You can look on it as a blatant robbery or you can look at it as her ode to a classic era of 20th century music, I think for her it was definitely about the latter.

[/quote] It's definitely a 'homage'. And her lyrics are very poignant. Her death was very sad. Such a huge talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
