Sonovabisquit! If I ever knew that, I had completely forgotten it. The Grass Roots are one of my favorite bands in the 6Os and early 70s; but I lost track of them after that. The things ya learn on this board...

Thanks for sharing, Thinny!

The Grass Roots - She Don't Know Me - [high quality] - YouTube
I know Wiki is an unreliable source but it does explain the evolution of the song.

I'm pretty sure Hugh played on the demo in 1982 after recording Runaway with Jon. Maybe someone else who remembers the history can chime in.

Interesting about She Don't Know Me! My mum used to claim that she knew the song back in the 80's , but always thought that it was just a cover Bon Jock had done. Maybe she had heard the original one back then.

Btw. Burning For Love on that album was not a cover, but still a pretty blatant rip-off from Laura Branigan.
