"Can I Change My Mind" is a 1968 single recorded by soul singer Tyrone Davis. It was his featured debut and in early 1969 replaced Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It through the Grapevine" to become the number-one song on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart.[1]
Bill Deal and the Rhondels did a "Beach Music" version of the song as well.
Alton Ellis, circa '68, released "Can I Change My Mind" as the B side of the Delroy Wilson "Give Love A Try"[2] single on the Studio One label.[3]
An alternative version by Alton Ellis, "Change of Plan," was collected on the 1977 album Still in Love.
Jackie Mittoo's instrumental "Super Charge," on The Jackie Mittoo Showcase (Sonic Sounds LP, 1978), is a "riddim" version of the song. Gregory Isaac's contemporaneous vocal version, over Mittoo's instrumental track, "Can I Change My Mind," is included in an extended version with toasting by D.J. Ranking Barnabbas on Isaacs' 1990 CD "My Number One" (Heartbeat).
