Oh not this.

Carole King cover.

Cover versions of Carole King songs are always better than the original. This is pretty much the same.

by Nightjar Thu Sep 19, 2024 7:03 pm

She's not really adding much to the various versions of this.

by Butterfield Thu Sep 19, 2024 7:04 pm

I prefer the Bryan Ferry version. Colbert

Band is still lacking in oomph.

Is the singer a l*sbian.

by Nightjar Thu Sep 19, 2024 7:04 pm

She was probably about 15 when she recorded this.

Deffo not the voice of a 15 year old.

What is 'Tops' anyway?

Track 3 - Because They're Young.

Suede cover.

She does sound like Tanita Tikaram, with that husky, almost manly voice.

In 1987, she became a Messianic Jew

The top!

The peak!

The apex!

The acme!

Super-smashing!

Dainty guitar solo.

It just doesn't make sense.

Being a Jew and being a Messianic Jew are not the same things.
