A great cover version adds something to the original , it’s not just a copy or update .This is one of the very best . The Band taking Marvin Gayes "Baby don’t do it " and making it their own . Great sound by 5 of the greatest musicians that ever lived .
You really need to work at your trolling mate
I upvoted as I took that as a joke! Ha ha
He must be trying to be funny because anybody who can’t appreciate the genius of The Band needs a musical education.
Looking forward to the musical education
One of the greatest, if not the greatest soul singer.
Maybe “The Band” could teach him a few things, after covering one of his songs
It’s not like football mate , you don’t have one band or singer you support at the expense of all others . The Band covered this song because they, and Levon in particular admired Marvin Gaye. I prefer The Bands version , but didn’t diss Marvin or didn’t troll anyone . A thread about covers will always have bands covering others music .
For balance heres a decent cover of a Band song.
Upvoted, not for the songs (neither the Band or Marvin Gaye are really my thing) but because I didn’t see it as trolling, just a contribution to the thread. A lot of people like The Band.
I don’t like a lot of the stuff on the music threads but never took it as trolling…
So endeth the sermon
btw … I realise Lord D can be a controversial carachter
Back to the tunes .
Leon Russell’s " Song for you"'has been covered hundreds of times . Wille Nelson nailed it here under pressure as the great man looked on.
This is abit special as its Joni doing a cove rof her own song… reinvented as a lament and so totally differnet form her orriginal version
The best cover of one of hers is Stephen Still’s arrangement of Woodstock, so much better than Matthews soppy effort.
