Just listening to one of my (many) Spotify mixes. Florence + the Machine covering Addicted to Love going into She Drives Me Crazy covered by Tom Jones."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

Originally posted by Long John View PostIt doesn't touch a nerve so much as represents the challenge of covering certain songs. Miller/Letteri are technically sound and capture the music of the song. But the cover lacks emotion. I don't get the sense that the singer even knows how to spell Kashmir much less has ever seen it. Heck. At twice their age, the original members can still convey that.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I had no idea “Heart and Soul” by Huey Lewis & the News was a cover.
The original was done by Exile of “I Want to Kiss You All Over” fame in 1981, and again by The BusBoys (of “The Boys are Back in Town” from 48 Hours fame) the following year. Neither charted.
Huey’s rendition was the first single off Sports in 1983 and went to #6. Exile’s original is pretty close to Huey’s version, which I also found interesting.
