It's the 15th of the month which means it is time for another Battle of the Bands. Think it's time to "Love The One You're With."
Here is Stephen Stills performing his song to refresh your memory...
You know the drill by now I will have two contenders and you vote for the one you like the best in the comments. I tally the votes and announce a winner.
Contender One: Luther Vandross
Contender Two: The Supremes and The Four Tops
Who's gonna win? We will find out in a week or so.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteLuther Vandross's cover is great but a bit too lack that get-to-your-feet vib as the original, as well as his competitor. The Supremes & The Four Tops big band backing and groovy vibe triggered the boogie in my body winning me over instantly. Please give my vote to The Supremes & Four Tops. Excellent battle!
Wednesday mashup - WW + BoTB round 9 'The Signs' Showdown
Both are interesting takes on the Stills song. Between the two I prefer Luther Vandross.

Tossing It Out
I wasn't particularly fond of either of these covers, but the Supremes and Four Tops sounded a bit more like the original, so I'm voting for them.

ReplyDeleteThose were certainly stylistically unique approaches to that song. While I don't think either of them can touch the original, I believe I slightly prefer the version by The Supremes & The Four Tops.

STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS
While it took Luther a minute to warm up.. I liked his better. My vote : Luther Vandross
ReplyDeleteLuther done took this one to church! Put me down for his version.
ReplyDeleteI give it to Luther who truly made it his own. The other version reminded me of being too hip and groovy as if I was watching Shaft
