This week the theme is to find a cover song that you feel was better than the original.
I had no idea that this had an “original” but I do have Amy Winehouse’s version on a playlist on Spotify that I listen to often.
The Original Version – Valerie – The Zutons –
The cover that is just so much better!

It’s The Zutons for me, always has been. I never took to Amy Winehouse, thought she was overrated.

I’m not a fan of the Winehouse style, but I like her approach better on this song. I think I’ve another version by her that I like better. I thought she had done the original. Never heard of the Zutons. Another time I might like their version better. Today it’s Amy.

She had such a lovely and soulful voice. Too bad her personal demons took over and cut her life short.

I like the Zutons version but Amy’s is knockout. She is best when you close your eyes and just listen to her ☺️💗
