samhexum Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Of course, anybody who covers a Beatles song is a good bet to improve it: Urethra Franklin: Elton John: The Carpenters (twice): The Chipmunks: (this entire album was a classic!)

samhexum Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Speaking of classic covers by The Carpenters: The original was by a group named Klaatu (Richard Carpenter saw Bette Midler singing this on The Tonight Show & thought it would be perfect for Karen.) (BTW, WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN started out as a bank commercial, before Richard saw it & asked the authors to adapt it into a full-length version..) (Elton was able to improve The Beatles AND The Who!) THE ORIGINAL: Olivia's sister, Juice Newton-John, did the cover: Edited September 15, 2017 by samhexum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhexum Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I didn't go through this whole thread, but did anybody mention THIS great cover?

+ WilliamM Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Why didn't you post the DEFINITIVE version of that song? For obvious reasons. Spedfic: Oscar Hammerstein and Mary Martin were close friends. Her songs in his musicals were written to match her personality and the characters she played. I liked the first try. But, Bonnie Franklin has no clue. Edited September 16, 2017 by WilliamM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhexum Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have this 45: It was co-written by Ms. Midler, Bruce Roberts, & the ex-Mrs. Burt Bacharach, who had her own version: Wonder Woman gets into the act: Even Norma Rae gave it a try: Let's try it with a Swedish accent: I once saw Bonnie Franklin sing it on a talk show, but can't find a video of it.
