do yourself a favor and check it out, it's on "These Songs For You, Live". He also does great versions of What's Going On and Stevie's Superwoman

Is this "superwoman" the same as the Karyn White song?

no, very different song. Stevie's is called Superwoman (where were you when I needed you). A fantastic song from his fantastic album music of my mind.

Both Bette Midler and Ozzy Osbourne do great verisons of "In My Life". Much better than the original. More heartfelt.

Best Beatles cover of all time is easily Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends"!

thumbs up!

3 days after the album came out, Jimi Hendrix opened a concert with this. McCartney and Harrison were both there, and were very impressed that Hendrix learned it so quickly
