    Original by Prince. He was a genius but this was one of the stand out tracks of the 90s.

    On the basis they've added some value rather than a karaoke style homage:
    Santana, black magic woman
    Take that, relight my fire
    Joe Cocker, little help from my friends (probs my favourite cover)
    Gangsters, the special aka.
    The beat, tears of a clown (not better, just different)
    And who can forget,
    Mike Myers pop, wonderwall lol

    I used to think the Hollies cover of “just one look “ was the best and that included the brilliant Linda Ronstadt version .
    Then I heard the original Doris Troy and that drew me away from covers .
    Thing that amazes me is the versions of Springsteen songs that people acredit to someone else and didn’t realise that he’d wrote and sung himself .
    Same with Dylan .

    By underrated, you mean named as one of the best albums of 1980/the 1980s and given almost universal praise at the time? Reaching No 6 in the album charts and a No 1 hit single with "Geno"?

    And it is still a cracking album 40+ years later.

    1. The first time ever I saw your face, Roberta Flack. And if you don’t believe me, here’s the original.
