Cover Me 2

Just a quick one today.

Here's something I found over at one my favorite audio blogs, The Funky 16 Corners.



Ray Charles, covering Livin' For the City.

Now, like I said in that post about Stevie Wonder covering the Beatles...it's a little pointless to cover someone as great as Steven Wonderland.

Unless you're Ray Charles, and without you, there really wouldn't be any American Soul music. So, with that in mind, go on, Brother Ray. Do your thang.
Ray Charles, "Livin' For The City"

I particularly like the preaching portion, but the background vocals aren't too shabby either, right?

Hopefully you'll enjoy it, too. And in case you hadn't heard the original (and shame on you if that is the case...):


How 'bout that sweet vest on the drummer!
