Courageous Covers
Stevie Wonder needs no introduction. If you need to be told about this superstar then you really do deserve a slap around the chops, (several). Here, below, is just one of his superb songs - that like the majority of his exemplary music - has managed to withstand the test of time.
Exhibit - F 'Knocks me off my feet'
The original, by Stevie Wonder
The cover, by Donell Jones
Oh no he didn't... well, actually, he did. And hats off, as Mr Jones executes a very, very fine job. This man has in my opinion - one of the most outstanding soulful voices of modern times. If you are not aware of the supreme talent of Donell Jones, his debut album, 'My Heart' will introduce you to a man - who for people who love Soul and RnB would be reduced to nodding their heads in knowledgeable respect when recalling how brilliant he is.
He more than attempts and delivers with this cover. For this reason, I cannot even say who's version is better. Both, are impeccable efforts.
