nee, dat denkt iedereen en Al Campbell wordt overal als de zanger van dat nummer beschouwd, maar in een interview met Campbell zelf beweert hij bij hoog en bij laag dat dit een vergissing is en iemand anders het nummer heeft gezongen (ondanks dat AC er zelf de credits voor kreeg).
Q: Listening to a track on Studio One like 'Take A Ride', credited to Al Campbell, it just doesn't sound like your voice at all.
A: No, it's not - that tune deh, is not really me a sing that tune deh, yunno, but me sing a version of it still, for Mr Dodd.
Q: So is that another guy in the Thrillers who took the lead on that track?
A: No, is a bredda name Alan, I think the name's Alan. And some of the names get mixed up.
Q: Right, a different Al Campbell altogether.
A: Yeah. Everybody try fe tek me name, even UB40 dem try fe tek me name too. A whole heap a man, and a nex' bredda now try fe tek the name a'ready. Yeah, beca' dem love my name, but it cyaan work. When me hear dem a tek me name me jus' come back an' sing two tune an' kill 'im.
Q: So that is definitely not your voice on 'Take A Ride' and 'Expensive Love'.
A: No, no, a no me, a no me. Yeah, an' me no waan no man a t'ink dat. But me come 'pon a flipside of 'Real Rock', 'Don't Run Away'. The original press, 1967. The first recording me do for Coxson name 'Heart For Sale'.
Een strikvraag dus.
