Yes, that's clearly a remix and not an EQ adjustment. Those backing vocals are
not prominent in the LP version or any other version.

Could be just EQ, not uncommon to make the radio versions brighter.]]> Mon, 26 Apr 2021 19:43:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1289&PID=58078&title=paul-young-what-become-of-brokenhearted#58078 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1289&PID=58075&title=paul-young-what-become-of-brokenhearted#58075 Author: thecdguy

This version on YouTube claims to be the 7" Version of the song, but obviously it's not because it doesn't have the correct sax solo that's similar to the
chorus. I guess someone just edited the Soundtrack Album Version to match the running time of the 45.

Correct! The full title of the book she wrote is "Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe". I brought
the subject up because I'm a big
"Match Game" fan and I still watch the reruns, even though I saw many of them 40+ years ago when they were
first on. Fannie Flagg also usually sat
in the same seat on "Match Game" as another one of my favorite gals, Betty White.

Hmmm, now that's interesting! I can definitely hear
Whitney covering the song and doing it justice. But in
the end, it was probably better that she recorded "that
country song". It ultimately gave her the biggest hit of
her career.]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2021 12:01:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1289&PID=58053&title=paul-young-what-become-of-brokenhearted#58053 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1289&PID=58052&title=paul-young-what-become-of-brokenhearted#58052 Author: Santi Paradoa

Not sure what the connection is Dan.

Another interesting bit of trivia regarding a cover of
this song is that early on in the making of the
Bodyguard movie the makers of the film were considering
having Whitney Houston record the 1966 Motown song for
the soundtrack. Eventually they agreed she cover a
country song instead. The rest is as they say history.]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2021 11:23:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1289&PID=58052&title=paul-young-what-become-of-brokenhearted#58052 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1289&PID=58051&title=paul-young-what-become-of-brokenhearted#58051 Author: thecdguy
