Covers and originals
Covers and originals
People always compare covers to originals favourably or otherwise but sometimes they are different but both good in their own right. Here’s my starter for 10

if you've not seen this its worth a watch. This was live on radio when they had their late night slot in the early daysTheFamilyCat wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 11:02 amIt was years after Common People that I heard the Mecano track but do enjoy watching it for the flamboyant keyboard player.
Edit: They played the two songs on an earlier show (the start section), someone sent it to Jarvis and then he rang in the show live which is the main part of the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thSgdsWLe4E
They also did it for Disco 2000 and Gloria which I used to have on a cassette taped off the radio but I cant find it online anywhere.

Re: Covers and originals
Ann Wilson is one of my all time favourite female vocalists, her voice is incredible. This is an incredible version of one of the classic rock songs, so moving to see Plant with a tear in his eye at the quality of the performance. Nancy Wilson still looks good for her age too, always had a soft spot for her. Can't imagine why.....

Re: Covers and originals
For me, this has to be the best post on the thread. First the hugely talented Carole King, and I still regard Tapestry as one of the best albums I ever bought, and then the amazing Aretha and I would not disagree with the ‘Greatest Singer Ever to Draw Breath’ either. I have never seen that performance from her before. Incredible, absolutely incredible.ClaretLoup wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 11:56 amCarole King - You Make Feel Like a Natural Woman

Re: Covers and originals
Another Carole King reference. I love her original, but the cover is far better known- 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' by The Monkees.
Struggling on my android device but would be great if someone could put up YT links to both?
