I guess when I'm saying 'original' I mean the creator/writer of the song but I do understand what you're saying.

Carole King wrote "Natural Woman" and gave it to Aretha, then sang it herself on Tapestry - which is the original and which is the cover? "Son Of A Preacher Man" was offered to Aretha, she turned it down, Dusty sang it and later Aretha sang it, too. It gets confusing. So the first person to sing a particular song is the original?<br /><br />Of the above, Joan Jett is the best, only because of her kick ass attitude, but the Arrows aren't bad.Wolynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428782184898610640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299642067717583565.post-17070785307565321592009-10-04T15:13:28.924-07:002009-10-04T15:13:28.924-07:00The Britney version is criminal.

Usually the trouble with covers is that they feel unconvincing but Joan really takes it to another level. She is way too cool and crazy. If I had been standing by the record machine at 17 and she would have come there I would have pooped in to my pants. So would have the Arrows guys done too even though their powertrio performance was quite credible.chrome3dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576475963450286806noreply@blogger.com
