This is another recent cover version -I'm not truly crazy about it -but I am warming to it...... The Roots are pretty special and under valued (least in Modern Soul Circles) -John Legend doesn't quite gather as much respect in my eyes but he's OK here-least he isn't doing a vocal impression...
I suppose coming from a similar Music Educational background as DH gives him more actual insight than any army of old Soul heads such as myself..........
Oooh that John Legend - he gets right on my paps, he does. But this, I really like it - I do!
ReplyDeleteYeah he isn't my fave either but somehow this (shock horror) really does work- it's a whole lot better than the same outfits cover version of Wake up Everybody
ReplyDeleteThis track is better IMHO:
