YOU LIKE THE ARTIST BUT NOT THE SONG

Post by karl » Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:14 am

We all like many artists but sometimes not a particular song, or perhaps you like the song but not by a certain artist. I will start off with this.

Benny & The Jets - Elton John

John until a few weeks ago I could take or leave this song but listening to it recently it's grown on me - it's only taken since 1967 !!!!

Yes, and it is one of her most popular songs as well.
I like "Goin' Back" too, I also like Jackie Trent singing it.
Fever - Peggy Lee or any other singer, never liked this song at all. Again, one of her most popular ones.

My preference for Goin' Back is The Byrds version which was the hit in the U.S. and also for personal reasons.

Well at least Dusty's version is listenable. Have you heard Lesley Gore's take on it? It's pretty ghastly.
