The House of the Rising Sun

My wife was shocked to learn I will always love you was a Whitney Houston song.

This one was also a shock to her since she loves Stapleton

Yeah many people are shocked when they learn that a certain iconic tune sung by a favourite artist was simply a cover written and performed by the original artist .
I for example have always loved You've Got A Friend thinking it was written by Carole King, but later discovered it was written by her friend and one-time lover James Taylor.

Wanted to drop this............I love this era of music. They are so fucking tight with their playing. I love you all. There is a bright shining sun awaiting us.

Great song, I don't think Waylon or Jr's versions are more iconic then the original though, unless there is another version I don't know?

@ricc505 Bit above my head brother, but I'm drunk and still drinking on a Sunday. I'll drop an obscure I think you will like.

First time I heard "Strange Fruit" I was stunned.

I do believe only Billie Holiday could have sold that tune that strong.

I have talked about liking to mix music. what fits with "Strange Fruit"?

James Taylor wrote some very exquisite songs for himself, for Carole King and other artists. The arrangements in You've Got A Friend together with the luscious lyrics makes it stand out tremendously !!!

Thank you I appreciate that.

Do love to talk and share the music, few things I enjoy more.

I'll up you on some Mississippi blues.

I'll see that and raise ya the very first song known as the Delta Blues, talking 1926.

I used to put the falsetto song??? (can't remember the title atm) from Van Morrison's Veedon Fleece on mix tapes with Strange Fruit all time. Both had this odd melancholy I can't quite explain.

Also, Jeff Buckey does a good version of Strang Fruit that's based on the great Nina Simone version.

Yeah I didn't know it was Dolly when I was a kid. Also, love George Jones. Him and Cash got the best country voices imo.
