Original song artist vs song covered by another artist. There are times that cover song is better than original. One great example is Roy Orbison's Blue Bayou and Linda Ronstadt's interpretation. Which version is better or they are both good? #CoSoMusic #Music
@northernbassist Love the comparison
@northernbassist Reminds me of Kate Bush and Wuthering Heights. Pat Benatar did her version and her voice does more justice to the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7pI_vThx8I
@Victor
A woman named Erma Franklin recorded a song in 1967 that Janis Joplin made into such a hit a year later, Franklin’s version was nominated for the Grammy for best R & B Female vocal.
