216: Twice as nice...

Hi.
Today the covers squad hits town again!
At least twice, but some get a bit more attention...
-
Charlie Hunter does a brilliant job,
Earl Klugh sounds terrible,
Ian Siegal is a must-see-live-kinda-thing,
(and get totally splashed, soaked & genuine drunk :-)
Julius Brockington is a very underrated genius (who?),
Quinteplus should have left the drum solo out,
Sidney, George & Jackie did it all Temptations-like
and the rest is up to you for to comment on...
-
Hope you'll enjoy these ones - again -
I must thank all the original bloggers,
without whom this constantly cosy, coincidental corny
cover-continuum couldn't continue co-exist.
-
I especially mention Vincent here, who brought us Ray
Bryant's version of the good-old Ode To Billie Joe!
-
Peace to y'all!
