Jeremy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 According to www.allmusic.com... "U Blow My Mind" was written by Chauncey Hannibal/Dave Hollister/Teddy Riley. It is not a cover, The Blackstreet version is the original."Blow My Mind" was by Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin was their singer), but this was written by Jimmy McCrackin.

PeckhamRose Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It definitely wasn't "Who".Roger Daltrey couldn't hit those notes. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5066-who-sang-the-original/#findComment-163240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJL Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure Blackstreet did it first (1994). It samples the Gap Band's "Outstanding" from 1982 - maybe that's what you're thinking of?

jumpinjackflash Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yes, maybe the version I heard yesterday was a different Blackstreet version to the one on my album. It sounded more dated than the Blackstreet version I know.
