On more than one occasion in the past I have stated that I do not like cover versions. Yesterday I did the 'Love Songs' post and while planning it I came across other recorded versions of my favorite songs. And some were really very good
So I decided to do a couple of comparisons and see what feedback is derived from the comparison
For today we will look at two performances of a ballad I first heard as part of the soundtrack to "A Star is Born" performed by Barbara Streisand...
The Way We Were - Barbara Streisand
Brilliant performance that .... for me gooseflesh time. Second version, be patient she takes a while to get into it and hit her straps the inimitable Gladys Knight...listen up and cast your vote in the comments below.
The Way We Were - Gladys Knight and the Pips
Lets hear your thoughts.. and thanks for reading and listening to two great female artists! I have a cracker double lined up for tomorrow so look out for it.
