Paul S Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 10 hours ago, gjones said: I like this better than the original. yes, everything the Duffy version lacks. My little band do it like this but stripped down to guitar/bass/drum. I really like Christopher Cross' 'Ride Like The Wind'. But I also like this cover by Saxon. Not keen on Biff's voice, never have been, but the riff seems to flow nicely as heavy rock And here is one that is kind of reverse - famous cover of little known original but I actually prefer the original - at least how he plays it live. 'Rio De Janeiro Blue' was a massive hit for Randy Crawford but written by a guy called Richard Torrance. Again my little band does this, lovely to play.

I enjoy both All Saints and RHCP versions. And unless I heard wrong, Flea was involved in the All Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my, that Tommy Blaze version (and bass line by Trevor Barry) is SOOOO much better than the way we do it!! 27 minutes ago, Paul S said: yes, everything the Duffy version lacks.

Not sure the cover would have had anything like the same impact / following if it had been the original. OP - great thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Hey, here's the original version of "Word up". I like this and the cover. Edit: Wrong! Cameo was the original. Edited September 15, 2018 by Grangur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the tracks have some creative/unusual arrangements. Quite a lot of vocal tech fx going on as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
