Sunday Under Three Covers

Posted about 4 years ago
The Isley Brothers, label owners and businessmen, as well as a great band, realized the need to cross over, and did many cover songs from the rock world in attempt to spread their appeal.That they did them so well shows you why they've been around for 40 years.In comments you'll see Houston's Fabulous Fantoms doing a cover of the cover in exacting fashion and then a Meters live medley that pays tribute to the Isleys more than once.On a cold day in the East, 3 covers are a must.

    Only bummer is that I'm only hearing a sample of the song. Darn Rhapsody player. It's a good thing that I know this version. :=)

    Mike the Knife says I've been posting fairly regularly, but traveling a lot (S.F. to New Orleans to S.F. to L.A. in a week's time), so comments haven't been as frequent as usual. I've been reading my Trusteds, though.

    fistula spume says Really great covers. I like this song a lot. My wife hates it cause she thinks the message is BS. Oh well. I still think it's a pretty swell tune.

    fistula spume says Really wasn't too much of a jump. I was surprised by how well it translated. Definitely a sign of the times. I don't know how I could justify "but honey you weren't there, and she was, and I had to love the one I was with". Just don't think it would fly in this day and age.

    Cody B says It wouldn't fly at my house today, from my perspective or my wifes..Now in my mum and dad's day (when the original was cut), things were different, and I'm still finding out stories of different infidelities (explorations,free love sessions..whatever they called them then) between my parents. Funny, this was the first generation that started getting divorced every 5 minutes..Wonder why? Could it be that the Love wasn't really free?

    fistula spume says Doesn't fly for me either. Your right though. I still keep hearing stories from my mom that makes me want to barf. Oh well. I don't think any of my friends had parents that didn't divorce. What's wrong with peace, love, and understanding anyway? :)

    MusikMagik says Great cover. Love the Rhodes piano towards the end playing what I recall being a conga part on the Stephen Stills original (that hooked me completely)...I can still see the cover of that Stills album, with him playing an acoustic guitar in a snowy scene...with a toy giraffe or something by his feet. Weird.

    MusikMagik says ...had to go back and find the original :-) It wasn't congas, it was agogo bells or maybe steel pans...v.cool.

    Bartleby says I can't believe I didn't see this before. A brilliant post and groovy covers. -- There seems a particular affinity between country and RnB. Some day some one write something about that rapport -- The Meters live meddley just blows my mind, not to mention the sagacious Isley bros. Grand post. Cody, you're the boogie master. Is this how you see interior decoration? The four walls of your room like this, and the ceiling too ;)
