How exciting! I can't wait to hear - I *LOVE* The Duran's version of Fame. Their recent cover of Boys Keep Swinging is superb too.

Agreed. But "Five Years" is hard to cover I think. It is 'after all' ( wink ) one of the best songs of all time.

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

^Thanks for posting. While this cover was cool, I am starving for new original Duran Duran material. Hopefully they will release the new album this year whether they can tour or not.

I was wondering what happed to Andy since I never hear about him. Seems he's producing rock bands now, including an album in 2020 by a group called Chemia.

Yeah, Andy seems to keep a low profile.
