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".

EWF's rendition of "Got To Get You Into My Life" is superior to the original version by the Fab Four.

Cosign!!!!

So much funkier... cool

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. neutral
