And a half-cover as nobody seems to really know who wrote the final version. Love Patti.

A bit boomy as recorded on a smart-phone next to a bank of speakers but still good.

Springsteen wrote it, and gave it to Patti Smith. She changed two lines in the second verse, regarding the line about love is a ring on the telephone.

Pleased the Boss handed it off to Patti. It is hers.

Well he wrote it, he left off Darkness on the Edge of Town and gave it to her.
She made it famous, but I guess without him, no song.

Never really grabbed me as a singer.
Still her description of her contribution to the song is interesting.

Probably not the thread for this but people like Patti are more than just singers.
There is something else going on with them.
Really enjoyed her low-key recounting of this too.
Thanks Cliff.

Nightwish doing Over the Hill and Far Away by the late, great Gary Moore
Steve and ths Seagulls, makes me think the Pogues could have done a great job on this song.
but I don't think they can top the Man himself

Put aside my prejudices to really enjoy this:

Still Got The Blues albumn-one of the very few in my collection that I can listen to from start to finish
I prefer his Celto-Rock stuff, but it's by the slimmest of margins.

3 Covers of the Bill Withers song "Grandma's Hands". For some reason, even though I've never knowingly heard an Al Jarreau song, I had heard of him and had him marked down as someone who made the kind of music I hated. Somewhere I must have picked up the information that his music was horrible but he did an album of Bill Withers covers in the late 1970's that I've recently discovered is very good - especially the version of "The Same Love That Made Me Laugh".

Sorry, but that isn't the original. The original is by Boffalongo in 1970.
King Harvest had a great version in Australia in 1972.
