Mykesbass Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) I heard Jefferson Airplane White Rabbit on the radio yesterday. As a soul/jazz fan in my teens it was years before I got to hear this version, but knew and loved this early CTI recording by George Benson.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Going Back to my roots - Odyssey. Originally by Lamont Dozier. The Odyssey cover is quite faithful. And better because its more upbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last is actually Randy Newman, but Nilsson covers it on "Nilsson singa Newman" I think Randy plays piano on it anyhow. Damn good it is, too.

lozkerr Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Tell Laura I Love Her - Sha Na Na's version. Still like that one much better than the Ray Peterson original and Ricky Valance covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even suggested recording a version of it to my then band, well before Heart, because I thought it could be a hit. Of course we never got round to it….🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
