cover of Shania Twain: Still the One

i can't remember when somebody wrote about this cover done

by Prince and Marva King here on org.

I like Prince's version of Still the One and i think

it's better then Shania's original

too bad a good quality version

never circulated.

That's nothing new. He murdered more classics, for example I Can't Make You Love Me.

when it was on the website, it was mentioned as being intended as the b-side for "The One" or something.

Shania Twain didn't do the original recording of Still the One. It was done by a group called Orleans in 1976.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Like hell!! Everything about Shania is classic!! Other than Garth Brooks she is the biggest country artist and is the main one responsible for merging country and pop together just like Prince and MJ did with pop and R&B in the early 80s

Wow, want to know why Prince sings in falsetto so much? Listen to his heavy handed ear-grinding tenor on "Sttilll The Wha-unnn-an". There is a reason why he yells his parts out.

Lyrics to the Orlean song:

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear

You're still the one -- I want to talk to in bed
Still the one -- that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one....

Lyrics to the Shania Twain version:

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

Bridge:
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

Chorus:
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
