Apart from cover versions, BEWARE of the so-called "Remastered" rubbish that's being put out nowadays, it sounds squeaky tinny and is nothing like the originals.
'The 60's' is not just a name to me, I was a teen back then and I was friggin THERE.. :cool:

Despite her being a drug addled white witch it's still my favourite live song ever.


Alyona gives it her best here but she doesn't attempt the throaty bit mid song which I was quite looking forward to. Equally beautiful though

Remembering a Canadian legend. It was this time last year that he passed away (Luckily, I have both versions in my MP3 player :D):

Here's Bab's rendition. Goes to show the magic of cinema and the chemistry her and Kris have in this clip. Truth is, they couldn't stand each other:


@Awoken2 , do you know anything about this girl? Apparently, she was on some British vocal show and lost...at least I think that's how the story goes. Anyway, she has a nice voice and pretty, too:




Since I called you here, I thought you might enjoy this:


This woman does a decent job. As she admits, it's a hard song to cover but her vocals aren't bad:

Hi, I do recall listening to some of her stuff a while back, she really does have an exceptionally good voice.

This was her debut when she was 13 on the kiddies version of The Voice. I think she got to the semi finals before being voted out.

Maybe her song choices weren't quite right for the commercial aspect of the music biz? She then kinda faded away into social media obscurity.

I posted Mike's version of Boston's "More Than A Feeling" here, and I actually think he does another great job with Gerry Rafertty's "Baker Street". It's impressive it sounds terrific without hearing the most popular saxophone rift in pop music, but he and his musicians seemed to have pulled it off:

The original:


Different than Roxy's, but the singer is still emotive. Sounds like a bit like Michael Stipe of R.E.M.:


Glad I stumbled across this. She has one stoic stare but that might be her shtick. Good cover:
