(Finished October 22nd, 2019) Covers of Classic 70s Songs, Part 2

Hello,

17) Boston, Rascal Flatts "Foreplay"/"Long Time" (with "Free Ride" attached):

18a) The Doobie Brothers, Traks,  "Long Time Running":

18b) Bananarama (Alma De Noche Mix):

19) Jethro Tull, Styx "Locomotive Breath":

Unlike other songs on this list this cover builds on Still's original. It takes a nice song and puts a funky spin on it without soiling the original. Both versions of this song are fantastic. 20) Stephen Stills, The Isley Brothers "Love The One You're With":

It doesn't surprise me I'm only the 80th view for this video, I couldn't think of a way this would work out for the song. In comparison I picked a random version of ZZ Top singing their own classic and it had 136 million views. This actually makes me think of another blog topic "When Covers Don't Make Sense". 21) ZZ Top, Tracy Byrd "La Grange":

 The Beatles, Flaming Lips (featuring Miley Cyrus and Moby 22) "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds":

23a) Joe Cocker, Amii Stewart "The Letter":

23b) Sammi Smith:

24) Linda Ronstadt, Terri Clark "Love Is A Rose":

25) Wings, Guns N' Roses "Live and Let Die":

26) Olivia Newton-John, Tanya Tucker "Let Me Be There":

27) Grand Funk Railroad, Kylie Minogue "Locomotion":

28) The Doors, Long Beach Dub All-Stars "Love Her Madly":

29) Nazareth, Cher "Love Hurts":

30) Diana Ross, Jody Watley "Love Hangover":

Of all the 31 covers this is the worst and the Dinosaur Jr aren't even trying. 31) Nicolette  Dinosaur Jr. "Lotta Love":



To get that horrendous cover of a great song outta your head I'm posting the original by Nicolette Larson:
