SPANK

With apologies - I just posted the same version (plus another)

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Cerys played this on her show today

That is ..... magnificent!

Apparently Dave Brubeck thought it was one of the best versions he had ever heard ... just magnificent

Maybe not G&Rs radio version but this is without a doubt the best version of this song.

Apparently this is too good to not post. A cover or a remix?

Dunno if this has been posted previously but....

Big fan of the original (still can't believe I saw Jimmy Webb play solo to a half empty Claire Hall in Haywards Heath a few years back)but after a few listens I now think this beats the original sung by Glen Campbell. But then I love a bit of Smokey anyway.

Liz Kershaw played that on R6 yesterday. She had a bit of a Dylan covers day, said there are over 6000. Bonkers (maybe I misheard)

I listened to this one today, spank it doesn't, but I have already posted on the 'other' thread

The Stylistics original.
Mighty Diamonds covered it, but Sandra Cross SPANKED it!



I had a massive crush on Sandra Cross when I bought this album too.

Don't think anything can really SPANK Satie in all fairness.... But this might come close for me.
