Doing research for our disco podcast and TODAY is when I found out that Doctor’s Order was sung by Sunny and she did it first … great version 🤍 You are never too old to learn 😊
I'm so glad I had the chance to be a young one in the seventies and enjoy this music still listening now makes me feel so happy,no worries,just contented,but there's one thing for sure this kind of music will never come back but I still have my good memories and that's what counts,I love to dance round the room when I hear music like this in my own little world,it makes me happy😊😊❤️
I was became a teenager in 1976 and believe we lift through the BEST era of music with pop, glam rock punk and so on. I wish we could return to those care free days Tony in Portsmouth England.
I was 13! I can sympathise with you, hearing this song has brought me out in goose bumps! Methinks that if everyone gave a loving spoonful everyday this world would get better pretty quick pandemic or no pandemic.
Sunny was one of the UK's top session singers. She appeared uncredited on countless top 40 hits by "studio manufactured" groups. She also recorded as Sunny & Sue (Sue was another top session singer). They were part of the James Last touring orchestra as featured vocalists throughout the 70s. Check the credits on many 70s albums and you will find her listed- including albums by Donna Summer and Cerrone.
I came to this site after reading the comments from the Carol Douglass version of this song. Frankly, I couldn't imagine anyone topping Ms. Douglass version, however, after listening to this version by Sunny, I'm here to say to one and all, it's too close to call. Both versions are great!!
~ The Last Days of Disco never came, as such songs still resonate fresh in 2019. Thank you, Sunny (Heather Wheatman a/k/a Sunny Leslie) and Carol Douglas and all early disco divas. See also "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man & "I'll See You In My Dreams" by the Pearls & "Let Us Break Bread Together" by Sue & Sunny & "Third Finger, Left Hand" by the Pearls (also mono 7" version by Martha & the Vandellas). Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I vote for the Carol Douglas version but maybe that's because I never heard this version until now. I'm sure I could get used to it. I love Sunny's "Let Us Break Bread Together" with her sister Sue.
Sunny sang the first jingle package for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester a few months before this record got into the charts. They're on YT - Piccadilly Radio Theme 1974. .
Tony Macaulay (Anthony Instone), Geoff Stephens, John Carter (John Shakespear), John Macleod, Barry Mason, Les Reed, Roger Cook, Roger Greenaway, Gerry Shury, Phil Swern, Mike Leander, All marvellous British pop songwriters from the early/mid 1970's. Also, Laurence Myers GTO Records/GTO Films & Bell Records was a great talent finder, particularly for songwriters.
Agree 100%. May I add Clive Scott and Des Dyer to your excellent list? Everyone of them should be required listening for anyone wanting a definition of how to write the perfect 'pop' song.
I would LOVE to use this song in one of my upcoming videos, because I love it so much. Does anybody know how to go about getting the copyright permission to use it?
Admittedly I only knew the Carol Douglas version and maybe I'm biased, but after hearing this, I still think hers is best. The tempo of this is too fast. Carol's really captures the disco beat and I can make out the lyrics better. And this is one song in particular where the lyrics are extremely clever and rhyme so well. Nevertheless, I loved Sunny in Brotherhood of Man.

Who else sang it apart from Jane Macdonald? Sunny version in 1974 was the only one I knew and even bought it. Alexa knew otherwise!
Wow are you kidding me🤔, after all these years I just learned something too imagine that such a beautiful voice thanks for the info 😁
@@aprilblossom9268Carol Douglas in 1975 release this song and reach number 11 on the US billboard chart.
Oh ok thanks. I was in UK
1st and best.

Tony in Portsmouth England.
The 70s were just glorious. I was a teenager then, the best ever time to have been one
we are all getting older but all of us that grew up in the 70s will never forget such great times like 1976 phew
richard wall I wish I grew in the seventies, awesome music!!!
I agree I’m 58 now I really miss the 70s
Liam Payne little kids music 😩
So miss the 70s . How we took for granted the melody and the rythm and soul of that music ...
1976 best year of my life
Best version by far. I freakin' love Sunny Leslie. ❤❤
This is the first time I’m hearing Sunny’s original British tune. I only knew the Carol Douglas US cover song. Very cool
14yrs old when this first came out! Stomache turned over when I came across this 70s tune.
I was 13! I can sympathise with you, hearing this song has brought me out in goose bumps! Methinks that if everyone gave a loving spoonful everyday this world would get better pretty quick pandemic or no pandemic.
I was 16 great times 🤗
@@raymondwhittle4780 thank god for memories "good ones tho".🥰
Takes me back to 1974...sweet times 🙃🙂
It’s pretty good, but it’s not
better than Carol Douglas.
Love this song. Best music ever in the 70s. Happy Days! 🎶
Brilliant song by Sunny, remember watching Top Of The Pops when this song came on.
Another 'golden classic ' from 1974 .Fab u lous
Oh now, this really brings back the memories of 74
9 Yr old, great song, this is definitely the best version.
Fabulous 54 years later
What a great 'driving on' rhythm - soft, warm voice too!
great record love it from the best decade ever the 70s
A classic from the great year of 1974.
Concur
Still a classic. Thanks for the memories.
This song is awesome ❤

BRILLIANT!!!
I'm sure Sue was her Sister
@@stuartjenkins6673 She sure was! They recorded together as Sunny and Sue
family parties when I was a young lad.
this is one of the greats.
thank you so much for posting this.
A fabulous song and also an advert for 1970s NHS medical diagnoses.
it's the best version for me.Good old 70's!
Best version ...a life time ago...btw I went to see the doctor today...God it was a long time ago you need 2 months notice.
Definitely my next holiday karaoke... Takes me back... Love it 🎤🎶❤️
What a wonderful song. Beautifully sung.

One of my favorite records ever. Thanks for sharing.
Still prefer this version & still got it on vinyl.
gooner brain,can't argue with your choice because of 'dem' missing brain, if you under stand 'wat a mean'.
She had a cool, husky voice, but the arrangement is too fast for this song...but! maybe I am just too accustomed to the original
@@1derfullBeast This IS the original version. I too prefer the Carol Douglas version because I like its musical arrangement better.
@@DerekDominoes I didn't know that this is the original, but I wouldn't know, I was born in 74, and like the other version
Sunny was the best.
Takes you back to the disco slow dancing great times stay safe ☃️🎄❄️🌲❤️xx
Reminds me of Bradford Mecca in 1974. It was thee place to go for good soul music, especially Northern Soul. Wigan Casino was just round the corner!
Oh the nostalgia! 😊
Love the horns at the end. Also, Sunny does the best version, really making the song 'roll along'
best version and best years
The perfect 70s pop song and there were many very good ones. Sunny sounds very like Dusty Springfield on this.
Agree, got to be best version by a mile, great voice and Sunnys timing is perfect,Love it
Great memories and times love the 70s best music ever .
And just like that I'm fifteen years old again.

Cunny!
Oh my goodness, she was gorgeous...and I was only a kid at the time. Greetings from England!
Lifeiseternal you are right I was in Love with her and I played this single to point it drove my Mother up the wall
Happy memories of this song, wagging it from school and it always seemed to be playing in the background at the corner cafe
Soooo good. The complete pop song.
reminds me of my childhood love who im back with again love this song
Never look for Love on the outside of yourself. Radiate happiness and Love from within, you'll attract it back to you !!
Big success in France during spring 75 for the french cover "C'est le coeur" by Sheila.
Always takes me back to the youth clubs memories
I wish this fantastic song was available on Spotify, I can’t understand why it isn’t?😢
Was there in my head iam still there ' if you wasnt i could never explain the music we had then magical times . . .
1974, having a drink in the Sefton, Seacliff Road, Bangor- happy days!!
Great vocals off Sunny and fantastic backing just a great song, they can't deliver a song like this now
Heard on Boom Radio UK August 2021.
There is hope for mankind.
Fabulous
SEMPRE BELLISSIMA. TI APRE IL❤
TI FA VIAGGIARE.
TRALE ISSIME DELLA DISCO ANNI 70
I Love Carol Douglas Version!
Thank you so much... I been looking madly for that.. I have it on an old single..
Here I am again with a lump the size of a 100 pound cannon ball in my 54 year old nostalgic throat.
I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LEARN !!
God Bless this song filled with love
Love this song this was when music was music she was Beautiful and could sing
I vote for the Carol Douglas version but maybe that's because I never heard this version until now. I'm sure I could get used to it. I love Sunny's "Let Us Break Bread Together" with her sister Sue.
I loved my youth
i love it my youth
Back in Sept 2022 great sound and great memories from this song
Not only was she a session singer but she and her sister, Sue, sang on many of the Cerrone and Alec R. Costandinos recordings.
Great song. W the years '70
So pretty Sunny!!!!!!
SUNNY LESLIE WOWWWW
In 2 weeks i See my love with a song like this in my ear....
The original and best...
EXCELENTE EEEE
What happened to her i wonder if she is still alive and still sings.
I like this version !!
Wow didn’t know this was the original song!!! Only knew the Disco version of Carol Douglas
Sheila ( B Devotion ) sang the French version back in Spring 1975 .
Velvet voice, pitch & emotion. Simon Cowell would probably say "Sorry, not for me"
Top tune ! Concord suite Droylsden happy days x
Happy days in ashton too bring them back please
Memories
Thanks for the memory instegated by Charlote from Sex in the City.I so rocked to this song in my youth.Those were the days.
Sunny sang the first jingle package for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester a few months before this record got into the charts. They're on YT - Piccadilly Radio Theme 1974. .
WOW I like that song.
WOW I STILL LOVE YOU SUNNY.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1974 and soon to meet my first girlfriend. Never forgot you Diane even though you broke my heart

On the excellent Atlantic record label - made good stuff, Atlantic!

Lovely
Sunny's was the original to put on vinyl and it was her song in Europe however and Carol was given the song and she made it her song in the USA
Peter Moorcroft And the German group Dschinghis Khan tried to copy it 1979 with their single Sahara (Desert Land).
Ohhhh I played this to death!!!
Love it x
I would LOVE to use this song in one of my upcoming videos, because I love it so much. Does anybody know how to go about getting the copyright permission to use it?
Brother of man original singer
great song!!
this was the original song then it was recorded in a Disco version in 74 by Carol Douglas.
Yes this is the original from january 1974, a club version. Douglas did her disco version in november the same year.
Thanks.
Aww❤️
I love the farting noise that is suppose to be a phone ringing.
Wow !😍
Missing my man🤣
Cannot find this on CD for love nor money AWESOME
I liked Carole Douglas' version better, but this one is good, too. (If I hadn't heard the C.D. version, I would have loved this one more.)
great 70s hit
Had no idea that this is the original version. Still prefer Carol Douglas.
Me encanta, realmente me hubiese casado con esa mujer de haberla conocido, tan hermosa y con esa bella voz, me enamore de ella
Admittedly I only knew the Carol Douglas version and maybe I'm biased, but after hearing this, I still think hers is best. The tempo of this is too fast. Carol's really captures the disco beat and I can make out the lyrics better. And this is one song in particular where the lyrics are extremely clever and rhyme so well. Nevertheless, I loved Sunny in Brotherhood of Man.
Memories of weeks in isolation in the summer of '74 with suspected polio with only the radio for company!
