    Default Trying to find a song.

    Hi i am looking for the name of a song and the artist. I dont have much to go on but it is very much Tamla Motown and sounds very much like Tears of a Clown. I heard it in the background on a tv programme called the Wonder Years so i dont have much to give you but here are some of the lyrics (not in any order) that i believe to be almost correct.

    When things were fine and your love was mine, I could reach out to you and you'll be there
    Things were strange but I rearrange and i feel like such a fool
    I'm your fool.

    I think it may be generic music recorded by 20th Century Fox session musicians to replace "tears of a clown" which was orignally in the program to get past copyright issues.
    I really want this track and would be prepared to pay if anyone can find it for me.

    I saved the section of the tv programme to dvd and ripped the audio off to mp3 but because it is a tv programme there is a lot of talking going on over the track.
    But it does get clearer as the song progresses. It does sound like Motown or Northern Soul but could be a generic modern soundalike

    I have it on mp3 if anyone can help

    Maybe it is Tears of a Clown, just a different version. Tears of a Clown is listed on the soundtrack CDs.

    No its not "tears of a clown"...the lyrics are different, the vocalist is not Smokey Robinson...it is a motown soundalike though. I have sent the mp3 file to several northen soul specialists and they are stumped.
    Thats why I am willing to pay if someone can find this song.

    Pay won't be necessary. Would send me the mp3 so that I can check it out? I've sent you a pm with my email address.
