I'VE GOT IT COVERED

Smashing it

Listening to a cover of Gerry Rafferty's Baker's Street on my online station and can never get the name of the artist who covers it. I looked through the YT covers to see if I could find it - no luck. However, I did stumble across this and think it's pretty fantastic IMHO: It's great to see a younger generation so incredibly talented and inspired by "oldies". There's even a girl drummer in the trio. Not sure if she's better than Karen Carpenter but to say the least, she's pretty good:

Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty) - Cover by Noah-Benedikt ft. @Cara Vel & @sina-drums

I think she gets an honourable mention considering it's all saxophone:

Just might be the closest you'll get to the real thing.

Some extremely interesting predictive programming included in George Michael's version from 1993.

I think CNN may have had something to do with release of this cover

Not a patch on the original

I used to love this song when I was a kid. I'll spare you the naff video

Today, as an old geezer, I love this version more.

I was listening to this the other day. I'm still awestricken by the performance! Lol, Gabriella puts my grade 10 guitar class to absolute shame:

(Kansas) Dust In The Wind - Gabriella Quevedo

The arrangement is by Sungha Jung, who I think is on the poster behind her. He must be a child prodigy because here he is here playing Billie Jean:

Great to see young people putting down their phones and picking up the acoustic guitar!

Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Maiya Sykes's cover of Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Both are mournful and help you feel the pain in different ways.

Amazing tribute!

Beautiful job

What an incredible talent!!! At just 15 years old, Emily's able to put such emotion into the songs while playing the piano. As Frank said, it does give hope for the future. Below is her interpretion of '84 remake:

Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) - Phil Collins (Piano Cover by Emily Linge)

I'm posting this one as well, as she also does a fantastic job with the song. I think every Canuck in the late '70s heard this song being played on the radio on an hourly basis:

Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill (Piano Cover by Emily Linge)
