Loved the J Scott Bergman version of “They Won’t Go When I Go.” It sounded quite a lot like Stevie Wonder’s version (recorded 16 years before George Michael’s version.)
Wow, thanks, Steve – I didn’t know George’s version was a cover itself!
I recognized the Stevie song from the piano line. 1974 album Fulfillingness’ First Finale.
Loved this show, BTW, especially that first set, and first half of the second set.
No Leonard Cohen? Didn’t he do a cover of “I’m your man”?
Wham! Did a song called ‘I’m Your Man’, but it wasn’t related to the Leonard Cohen song of the same name. Is there something else you’re referring to? None of my sources show a cover of the LC tune.
I’m a new listener and just wanted to say thank you for this awesome, awesome podcast. I found you through your Jellyfish show, and now this.., and oh my God, your 4 Prince cover shows! Such a great service and so brilliantly produced. Thank you so much!
