You Might Need Somebody-Remix- Shola Ama, w/Pras from the Fugees
Shola Ama’s remix version with Pras of the Fugees doing the rap upfront and throughout. I love the guitar riff on the intro. Very cool. Yeah, Shola Ama… One, two, One, two…

Tom, I can’t ever hear anything from the player. Is there something I need to do to get it going, other than hit play?

Hey Stu,
Great to hear from you and thank you so much for your kind words. I trust all goes well with you guys. I miss our nights at Steven and Kathy’s, Mel and Frannie’s.. wonderful summer nights in Montecito. What a time it was!
It’s a blessing though that we still have, through music, a connection that continues to thrive.
Sending you both much love and a big, big hug,
Tom

I agree with what you say about the guitar intro… reminds me of Tuck Andress.
Great song.
I might need somebody too.
just my opinion…. but not crazy about this version.
This is the de-facto cut as far as I’m concerned. Our local independent commercial radio station up in Cambridgeshire back in the late 90’s (Hereward FM) would play this to death (and it was the Fugee’s rap version too!). Loved it then and do now! Lovely recording / production Tom. Great job. The Ease.
Many thanks! High praise indeed.Cheers, Tom
