I can't recall if I may have posted this pages back but worth it. Love, love this rendition of Somebody to Love.

It's ok to repeat posts in the music threads - in fact, I think it's desirable.

Another one that is amazing. I love when a cover is done by the opposite gender. Gives it a whole different feel/vibe.

This one is close, as the instrumentation on Bob's version is delightful. But Norah's voice raises the song to another level, and the piano flourishes add a nice accent.

I always thought this was a Steve Miller original.

But sometimes what you think you know, and have known for a long time, is wrong.

Both versions are good. You can't really top Chuck Berry.
