Yes but ms warwick's version isn't a cover version. So Phil's call is a fair one. Dionne Warwick's interpretation of the song is peerless. What a beautiful song.

Creedence didn't do many covers, mainly because their own stuff was brilliant, but their version of " The Midnight Special " is really great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong. I got the first album and "Willy and the Poor Boys" for Christmas 1971. I'd already got Cosmo's Factory the Christmas before. "I'm from a fishing family.

Agreed. They should have been lined up and humiliated to death for that sheet. Learn to listen without distortion and learn to look without imagination.

Mister Ting Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Miley Cyrus is symblolic of what is wrong with 21st century pop music. Someone who studies music would be able to describe what it is. To me it all sounds like it was written and produced by the same thing.

I saw Miley Cyrus in a Woody Allen series he made for Amazon, and was slightly taken aback. What I've heard of her records is shrill and irritating, but her speaking voice is very different, and her acting was actually pretty good. Her dad, however, was bad at music (Achy Breaky Heart) and acting (Radical Jack), so Miley's one-nil up in the family talent stakes.

Oxford Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I could make my mind up as I trawled through all the great versions of this one when I thought of it on another thread but this one is certainly my top one now; 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
