Sade, No Ordinary Love, and Sherrie Lee, No Ordinary Love. Both great.

I find that R&B covers of country & western songs are often very satisfying. The good songs come from someplace deep in the soul, and the great R&B singers tap into that.

This is a real favorite. Both versions are great. I like Etta James better than Aretha Franklin because Etta knows when to belt and when to dial it back.

I just found this one of "Time of the Season." I usually don't like song covers but I LOVE IT! Especially the vocal harmonies.
