    I HATE unimaginitive covers. Why put someone else song on your album if you arent gonna bring somehtign new to it. If I wanted to hear the original, id bust out that album, what?

  • Al Green- I Can't Get Next to You

  • Arto Lindsay's cover of Erotic City doesn't sound much like Prince's version.

  • Charles McPherson does a nice little cover of "What's Going On?" on his self-titled release on Mainstream.

    Was just listening to it last night. The vibe is a bit more "optimistic" than the original -- check it out if you come across it.

  • How about The Fugees boring-ass cover of "Killing Me Softly"? Go on and hatt, but that was a terd.


    BTW: Welcome, Lynn Ness. I've heard some of your beats and they sound nice.

  • nothing like: jean carn's cover of you light up my life from her album happy to be with you PIR 1978

    Peace, thank you for the kind words man. I'm glad to be posting with y'all.

    And yeah, I gotta gree with you on that Fugees cover. Man, I hated that song.

    Archie Shepp's version of Jobim's The girl from Ipanema is radd.






    Peace

  • Astrud Gilberto "Beginnings" cover of Chicago's song is great. Sort of faithful but also takes it in a whole new direction.

    "Ain't No Sunshine" is a killa!
