I met Junior in November of "71". I was an orderly at St. Francis Hospital in Blue Island, IL. He passed at age 39 during surgery for a brain tumor. Nice guy. RIP
To you nitwits saying this is the "best" version of this song…get freaking real wouldya?
It's a really good soulful interpretation of a great rock song, but it's far from being better than the original. First off, there are no cover songs without originals, and it insults the intelligence when people proclaim a cover better than an original…utter nonsense.
Secondly…while I understand it's a soulful take on a rock song, it can't possibly convey the sound that Harrison (and the Beatles) intended for the tune. The searing and aggressive guitar throughout the song is there for a reason, including McCartney's outstandingly fierce solo in the middle.
The guitars provide the atmosphere that Harrison intended…one of harshness, rigidity and spitefulness that an actual British tax representative might hold.
I could go on but there's no need.
Bottom line…covers can be great and creative, and offer different feels, but they can never be better than an original…NEVER, simply because they only exist BECAUSE OF AN ORIGINAL.
Love Junior Parker! The Soul and Bluesman. Gone too soon! From the early 50s to the very end. He influenced everyone from Elvis to Al Green his cousin…
Twas hard for those poor people living luxuriously in the 95% ( above $100,000 ) tax bracket just so we could all have trivial things like health care, schools, and infrastructure. Bless.
Junior Parker was Al Green's Cousin. Name checked at the beginning of 'Take me to the River'. That aside, I wonder if George ever heard this? He would have loved!
Flirt by Syndrome got me here
