I remember 45's; so much easier to find a "single" song you liked and argue with the friends with the little records.<br /><br />I didn't get past the first few seconds of Tom Wait, though. So Honeydippers gets my vote, but I'm pretty sure they would get my vote against anyone. Their version always melts my heart.<br /><br />And, I love it when I know I've seen a movie, and don't remember enough of it so that watching it again is like watching it the first time.<br /><br />dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-86469787541118477252014-03-16T13:28:56.530-04:002014-03-16T13:28:56.530-04:00I like Honeydrippers.

(I admit that I was confused, too, when I kept seeing Robert Plant's name attached to this group):<br /><br />The Honeydrippers were a rock band of the 1980s. Former Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant formed the group in 1981 to satisfy his long-time goal in having a rock band with a heavy R&B basis. Formed originally in Worcestershire, the band went on to record an EP in the US. In addition to Plant, the band was composed of fellow former Led Zeppelin member Jimmy Page; Jeff Beck (a former Yardbirds member like Page); and other friends and well-known studio musicians. They performed in a concert at Keele University in 1981. The band released only one recording, an EP titled The Honeydrippers: Volume One, on 12 November 1984.[Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-51150395171168808932014-03-15T19:20:03.808-04:002014-03-15T19:20:03.808-04:00Honeydrippers.

Everyone in the world needs to go out RIGHT NOW and buy the first two Waits albums, “Closing Time” and “The Heart Of Saturday Night.”<br /><br />My opinion is similar to Stephen’s. I think that after “One From The Heart,” Waits seemed to take his alternative icon status a little too much to heart, and his voice seemed to be too put-on, and his musical arrangements not very musical.<br /><br />The box set “Orphans Brawlers Bawlers & Bastards,” released in 2006 and including this cover, was a change of pace-there were several sons that were quite melodic.<br /><br />All that said, I am going with the Plant vocal on the Honeydrippers version. When that came out, I liked it better than anything Led Zep had done.<br /><br />Had Waits tweaked his arrangement a little he might have gotten my vote-his voice suits this type of ballad (just listen to his version of <i>Somewhere</i> from West Side Story), but I think the Honeydrippers nailed this one.<br /><br />DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-77711155835267935952014-03-15T16:25:03.827-04:002014-03-15T16:25:03.827-04:00Hi human, Robin,

I admit I'm pretty fuzzy this morning, but you could 'butter my butt and called me a biscuit', before I would have ever guessed that was Robert Plant. I just went back to check AGAIN, and yep, that's what you said.<br /><br />Anyway... all that 'shock and awe' aside my vote goes to Tom Waits. I'm a sucker for those gravelly voices guys who almost can't carry a tune. Maybe it's because they have no choice but to put more heart into their version. I also like that he changed the tempo, slowed it down, it has a more seductive quality. OK, enough said. I'm going to shut it before I get myself into trouble here. Tom Waits it is for me.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-69041217824553716092014-03-15T13:32:52.337-04:002014-03-15T13:32:52.337-04:00Tom Wait...deeper, more evocative.
