Remaking a good song (until you get it right)
July 6, 2008
Here’s the original(1966):
Otis Redding took a stab at it(1967):
David Bowie loved it too(1974)
And that bitch Cher always thinks she knows better(1976):
Then along comes Amii and she makes it into one of the best songs in the world!(1979)

A pretty fair music history lesson, John (and
did that host call Eddie Floyd “boy”? Oh, No he dinnit!)

am most familiar with otis’s cover, but i think i dig eddie floyd and amii stewart’s versions (as presented here) the most.
