May 15, 2008 by aj
I had a difficult time with this particular theme, for some reason I drew a blank initially, but then I remembered this little gem:
Killing Me Softly

So much material out there for remakes. But you know what… You’ve made a right decision. When this the Fugees came out with this joint I was all over it.
What are the odds? LOL! I posted this one too along with tons of others though. Although it’s probably blasphemy to say so, I prefer Lauryn’s version over Roberta Flack’s.
I drew a blank too, but then I remembered the song I posted: “You Send Me” sang by Aretha instead of Sam Cooke.
The Fugees did an excellent job with this remake and introduced a lot of young’uns to Roberta Flack. Happy OSF!
I’ve been hitting spots this morning to see what you guys chose and I must say I am sooooo excited! Since I’m at work I have to pull out my headphones before I can listen.
Although Roberta Flack reigns supreme, I have to say it too…I enjoyed L-Boogie’s version better.
HAPPY O.S.F.!!! Have a great weekend!!!
I know someone posted Al B. for this remake but Lauryn killed it. :o)
I love this version…I knew it would be popular so I pulled out the Al B. Sure version…
What’s up AJ!
Nice choice! I saw this someplace else today! It is popular! I am not really a fan of either version. But I love Lauryn Hill so I guess she wins this one by default!
have a great weekend!
One of my favorite songs ever! Nice choice
Great choices! I did Every Little Bit Hurts…hope you get a chance to check it out. SjP
Marvalus had the Al B Sure version, this is the only song that can be made over and over again, and I like every version just as much as the original.
Good choice. I must say that I like the Fugees (Lauryn Hill) version better.
this was nice choice, i must add you to my next weeks list
ure site is really nice
THIS IS MY SONG.
I still love Roberta’s version still! Lauren did a good job, but you can’t beat the classic.
Hey AJ! What’s up?
Just checking in on you.
Have an awesome weekend!
I like!
I did Stanley Clark with George Duke and the Isley Brothers directly on my spot. Put a link to Luther Vandross doing Its All Over not only for the bass - but as a piece of advise for the Queen…HRC. Hope you get a chance to stop by.
