N'Dea Davenport did a cover of this song!



Loved what the Heavies did with it but yeah, she's badass clapping N'Dea is one of the better cover artists out there. Most covers sound like crap but she manages to breathe life into the covers that she does. It's cuz of that kick ass voice of hers headbang

Not that familiar with her R&B albums for Philadelphia International.

The first version I ever heard of this song was done by a Jazz singer named Etta Jones....
By the way, I do love Ndea's version though.
Is she ever gonna release another solo cd?
