i heard a really kewl version of blues bros. everybody needs somebody to love on an advert the other day, does anyone know whos done it?

[surfer mike]

it was co written and first performed by solomon burke in the early 60s and has been covered by dozens of artists..they include, the rolling stones wilson pickett,slim smith,the jerry garcia band, the 13th floor elevators.. even jive bunny and the mastermixers..

the version by the blues bros is on a mars advert..

not sure if theres another..

I suspect it's the version on the new Jools Holland album, Swinging The Blues Dancing The Ska, which is being advertised quite heavily at the moment. The featured vocalist is the aforementioned Solomon Burke.

yep, that's correct, I watched Solomon perform it on the latest Jules Holland show.
