Back with Pt.2, the Covers edition.  There are some song covers that arguably surpass the original version.  Not to say that the song wasn't made for the original artist, but to note that the cover artists' rendition of it is incredible.  Everyone can't do it, but oh man when they do?  Special.  

Jodeci- Lately

I'm so sorry to the Genius, Stevie Wonder, but what Jodeci did in this version cannot be undone.  Jokes aside from the classic Varnell Hill Martin episode, the cadence... rifts... ad-libs...and pacing.  It's THEE one by miles.  On another note, I heard the studio cover of this where they had a video for the FIRST time in 2026.  Repulsed.  This is the only I will acknowledge.

Time Warp...1995 :: Shit, Damn, Motherfxcker | D'Angelo

Circa 1995.

One of my favorite D'Angelo songs ever.
This morning has been all over the place in various ways... a storm is coming weather wise.. plus it's the first - #RentDue.
How fitting is this one. lls.

I'm Glad You're Mine | D'Angelo (Al Green Cover)

Can you believe it has been 14 years since 'Voodoo' dropped?  My oh my, how time flies.  Now close to twenty years later, D preps to release a new LP of his live performance on Sept. 14, 1995 at the Jazz Cafe in London.  While 6 of the tracks are also featured on 1996's "Live At the Jazz Cafe, London" (which only released in Japan), the other 5 tracks were unreleased and now added.  The 11 track "Live at the Jazz Cafe, London: The Complete Show" album, drops March 25th.  Check out his Al Green cover below::
