ern500evo Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I’m a big fan of The Temptations, but have to say The Faces cover of I know I’m losing you is fantastic. Rod Stewart at his finest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Or this one - love the stripped down feel of the playing. Maybe not so much the shredding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's a testament to a great tune when it gets plenty of covers. Dionne Warwick recorded a version I like as well. Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway also recorded their take on it, with a very different arrangement and approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 On 29/08/2018 at 13:26, PaulWarning said: One thing I never get is tribute bands that try and sell their recordings of the band they are a tribute of, why would you do that and why would anybody buy it? Last year we supported Talon, the Eagles tribute. They have some strange fans, bedecked in Talon t-shirts and adoring the phonies as if they were actually the Eagles.

lowdown Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Groove, Feel and Soul. Hamish Stuart's singing on this is terrific, with Alan Gorrie doing his bit as well on backing vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Featuring Steve Pearce on bass. He is one hell of a class act. I had the privilege of working with him back in about 88/89 when I was at a small independent record company. Unfortunately we had neither the budget, nor the know how to match his talent. Lovely guy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Here's another that been covered by a list of bands, originally recorded by someone most people have never heard of Billy Joe Royal but soon after covered by Deep Purple then, some while later, Kula Shaker. I like the power of this version by Gotthard - I believe this was flagged up on here a few years ago in a similar thread, which is when I first heard it.

wateroftyne Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I'm not bothered as long as it's not an awful syrupy bleat, or a 'Look how cool and clever we are!' jazz-funk arrangement. Can't bear that stuff. I'm royally sick of it. Edited September 10, 2018 by wateroftyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Stewart at his finest. Always enjoyed a lot of Rod's / Faces covers. Here's one that may divide opinion - I love the Isley Brothers's original, but thought this was a good version too. Not sure who played what on this track, but the album it's taken from ( Atlantic Crossing ) featured Duck Dunn, Lee Sklar and David Hood on bass duties, as well as Steve Cropper, Booker T and possibly the last session by the MG's Al Jackson on drums.
