Frosty Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Haven’t visited this thread in months, so not sure if this has been posted. Courtesy of my Apple Music subscription, can’t believe I only discovered this song today... note: not the exact version in the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=LEDQ5gwZASE
Ed-Zulu Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I guess then his son who did this for him as a surprise with several people (like Ard, Karen, Arno, Zolani etc) whi are Clegg family friends was ill advised? Interesting. I thought it came from a good place and was well intended. Johnny has been very open about his fight with cancer and I think the SA music industry acknowledging his massive, massive contribution now while he is around to appreciate it means more to me than the cliched, obligatory posthumous tribute albums and concerts...It did off coarse come from a good place, no question about it and it is moving. Like I said, it's not my favourite type of tribute, but it was long overdue for Johnny Clegg regardless. Sidersky and Hairy 2
Albatross Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Big fan of both versions Sidersky and Red Robin 2
Sidersky Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Big fan of both versionsDitto but really love David's cover. He has become one of those artists I buy new music from unheard because I know it will at worst be very good... Albatross and Milkman 2
Stretched@Birth Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 https://youtu.be/q1uFn9uvP4I Many songs that I thought are original, that are in fact covers...!
Stretch Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 https://youtu.be/q1uFn9uvP4I Many songs that I thought are original, that are in fact covers...! Very Surprised that the Gambler is not on that list....but do songwritwers versions count as covers? although technically he recorded it as an artist - so I guess it does Don Schlitz is a prolific Nashville songwriter - another one of his more recognisable songs is this: Stretched@Birth 1
Desi Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I love this cover version!
Desi Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 I think this is better than Ed Sheeran's own version: Warthog whisperer 1
Shebeen Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 In my book the greatest cover band ever, has lost one of the team. And just like Freddie, probably unreplaceable
Edition 507 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I think you will have to be a Placebo fan to enjoy this cover, although it does not quite eclipse the original. Ed-Zulu 1
Edition 507 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Placbeo once again, but performing live with the man himself! Walt Jabsco 1
Edition 507 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 A melancholic rendition more fitting to the lyrics that the original. Warthog whisperer and Underachiever 2
