Why on earth does she need all the echoes? And the dancing? I had to clean my ears out by listening to the original. Though apparently some people like the cover version, who knows why. It has over 30 million views. ---

Pepper_ movie soundtrack some 12 years after the original Beatles version, EWF took an average song and turned it into a smash hit, landing #1 on the R&B Chart, winning a Grammy, and becoming the band’s signature song. They made a dramatic improvement to a _Lennon/McCartney_ song; they were that good. Pass. ---

**Deep cuts** 1. Chain Lightning - Steely Dan 2. Queen of Spades - Styx You won’t find it on any Greatest Hits albums of theirs, and I don’t think there’s a karaoke version either, but it’s one of their hardest rocking songs. ---
