  • Ghadi64rag from SfAnd then Gregory Abbott comes and rips the entire song off and makes Shake You Down. Hope Isley-Jasper-Isley were compensated and granted writing credits!
  • Lester from New York City, NyErnie Isley CAN PLAY THE GUITAR!!!!!!! If you get the opportunity, listen to his solo album, 'High Wire'.
  • Paul from Cincinnati, OhEmmerhoff and the Melancholy Babies, a Norwegian group, use the phrase "caravan of love" in their song, "Caravanserai." Perhaps it's a reference to this song. The song is the first song on their album, "If This Darkness Lingers."
  • Edward Pearce from Ashford, Kent, EnglandThe Housemartin's version of 'Caravan Of Love' topped the UK chart on the chart of 20th December 1986. The following week, Jackie Wilson's re-released 'Reet Petite' replaced it at #1, so I guess I'd have been more correct in saying on the above songfact that the Housemartin's version topped the UK charts in the week before Christmas in 1986.
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesThe Housemartins' cover did not top the charts at Xmas 1986, it lost out to the late Jackie Wilson's re-released "Reet Petite"
