Hi Mark, I knew about Go Now, but your note reminded me of this wonderful series from Dangerous Minds about hits that were covers: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/they_didnt_write_that_hits_you_probably_didnt_realize_were_cover_songs_part http://dangerousminds.net/comments/they_didnt_write_that_hits_you_probably_didnt_realize_were_cover_songs http://dangerousminds.net/comments/they_didnt_write_that_hits_you_probably_didnt_realize_were_cover_songs3 http://dangerousminds.net/comments/they_didnt_write_that_hits_you_probably_didnt_realize_were_cover_songs_4 http://dangerousminds.net/comments/they_didnt_write_that_hits_you_probably_didnt_realize Don't skip the comment sections of those pages, since they include a lot more. Everyone here will know a lot of them (e.g. "Hanging on the Telephone", "Tainted Love", "Mickey") but will probably find some surprises too. One that surprised me was "Killing me softly": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxY47jh9owA. And one that still astonishes me is "Bette Davis Eyes", which turns out to have been MOR honky-tonk swing from 1974 by, of all people, Jackie DeShannon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAQsOJbs-yo. How is that even possible? Best, Daniel p.s. Thanks for your periodic keepalive emails to this list! They're fun to see. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 01:36:52 -0500 > From: Mark London > To: audities@smoe.org > Subject: Moody Blues - Go Now, was a cover song. > Message-ID: <5673A984.3020405@psfc.mit.edu> > > How many people knew that? > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prlWGe2EHro > >
