    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.

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

    off one of the greatest psychadelic soul albums of all time

    "Ain't No Sunshine" is a killa!
