"People Get Ready"

Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart

Written by Curtis Mayfield.

Here's the facts for the original by the Impressions in 1965.

Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart recorded a cover in 1985 included in Beck's album, "Flash".

Released as a single, it made #5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and #48 on Hot 100.

...gained considerable airplay on album rock and classic rock radio stations and had a popular video on MTV. The interpretation featured Beck's gospel- tinged lead guitar lines carrying the melody with Stewart's signature raspy vocal set against that. It also represented a brief reunion between the two 1960s band mates, and they would perform the song again during intermittent one- off reunions in later years.

Even though it wasn't eligible because it had already made the Archive in TT #236, facts need to be entered again because it's not in the system yet.

Here's the link to the post for the info that Phil submitted back then.

It sounds like to me these facts aren't being entered into the data base. I have manually submitted a few to the main site on a few of my favorite songs and they still haven't been added over a year later.
