 "Personally, I would associate Stevie Wonder's "You and I" with O'Bryan before I would think of Mariah Carey, per what Alex and I discussed earlier. Had i heard (and liked) that version i definitely would've enlisted it in there

Dancelot said: "not really. Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong wrote the song, and they recorded versions with the Miracles and the Isley Brothers even before Gladis or Marvin."
I meant to say Marvin Gaye recorded it first. My mistake. THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! |

We Can Work It Out--- Beatles/Stevie. I don't know how definitive either version is to tell the truth but I at least like them both.
Killing Me Softly-- Roberta Flack/Al B. Sure/Fugees in that order. Somebody mentioned the song but left off Al. 
How Sweet it is to be Loved by You-- James Taylor's version was awful and should get no mention. I prefer Michael Bolton's version of When A Man Love's A Woman to that. (Neither is definitive  ) |

Even LeAnn Rimes cover PR! And it's a good country cover version at that, IMO. | |

According to Herbie, the arrangement concept on Head Hunters was Harvey Mason's with percussionist Bill Summers contributing the intro. I'm a bit partial to the Mongo Santamaria version (that's the 1st one I heard) as the Latin vibe just works. Just recently acquired Herbie's debut as a leader... 
...Takin' Off which includes the original composition (along with an alternate take). Great band too. tA Tribal Disorder
