Cover songs that are better than the originals : NPR Music

Sometimes a cover song is so good, so singular that it completely eclipses the original version.  Think Sinéad O'Connor doing Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” Jimmy Hendrix lighting up Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” or, of course, Whitney Houston’s defining take on Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.”  On this week’s show, we share some of our picks for cover songs that are better than the originals, talk about why, and what, exactly, a cover song needs to become a classic.NPR Music’

How Do You Say I Don't Love You Anymore was Freda Payne's second American album (following a release in Sweden with Don Gardner), released May 28, 1966. Although regarded primarily as a jazz album, there are also several covers of pop songs featured, including the Beatles' hit "Yesterday," "Let It Be Me," the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," "Feeling Good," and "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzvhooO8VM0&list=PLLdI8LhF-55cJKNGhxeJxJoQewNBE4MBE&index=1 #FredaPayne #Jazz #Soul #Music #Covers #FemaleSinger #VocalJazz
