All songs run 4secs & stopped (no sound at all)!
蘇永康 actually did a fantastic job that his version found a place between Paul Young's and The Chi-Lites' versions. To me, Paul Young's version turned the song into a pop ballad, yes he still got the soulful voice and the background choir group to maintain the soul of the song, but the drum and the harmonica sounds gave the song a pop ballad structure; whereas The Chi-Lites' version is a bit faded and straight-up soul.
蘇永康's version, on the other hand, has the harmonica and the beat of Paul Young's version, but being handled much lighter. It added some piano too, further jazzify the song. I personally perfer So's version, then Chi-Lites' and lastly Paul Young's.
Found this original also in May 2010!
Paul Young - Oh Girl (feat harmonica by Stevie Wonder)!
The Chi-Lites' original also has the harmonica!
Oh! Gal
曲:Eugene Record
詞:陳少琪
編:Dave Packer
Also love William So's version the most (except his "GAL" was a little too much ;P) Dave Packer
did a superb job on the arrangements especially love the intro! I used to love Paul's cover! But now I prefer the original's simplicity! But love Stevie's harmonica on Paul's cover! Without his success in 1990! William probably wouldn't cover the song! That would be miss for all of us!

In 1990, he released a cover of The Chi-Lites' song "Oh Girl," which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
