Covers performed better than the original......

[Wyatt Earp]

Cyndi Lauper (1984) and Tuck & Patti (1988)

 

 

But Tuck and Patti are a pure class team.

They signed to the Windham Hill label which many will find odd as they could sell platinum records, but they are really true to their art.

Can anyone Do the angst of Ian Curtis - these 2 sure do it justice.

 

 

[Wyatt Earp]

If an artist covers another artist it's even better when they understand and feel the emotion of the song.

Sorry for the poor sound, but this girl cooks .

I was very involved in the building of the World of Yamaha studio in Woodmead.  When they were doing the final testing of the "Sushi Room" (We nicknamed it that because we figured only Kenny Kunene would be able to afford the kit in there) the only CD I had was Rumours.  We played this track....

It was most probably the sweetest, crispest guitar work I have ever heard.....
