Robert Knight's Evelasting Love was nice. But Carl Carlton's version & Sandra Cretu's version are way better. | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

CORRECTION: The Carpenters' version is also a cover. The very original version entitled, Groupie (Superstar) is by Delaney & Bonnie.

Earth, Wind, and Fire also did a much better job with The Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life". Andy is a four letter word. | |

Cosign!!!!
So much funkier...
I will only accept two covers of that classic. Michael's and Elton John's (he does a wicked piano solo live). I don't like Aerosmith's version...just ruined it for me. | |
