milod Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Rosemarie... I guess I'll have to agree with you... I don't think the piece with Jett was done in a good key for her, nor a particularly comfortable arrangement. I'll wager she could do better. I'm guessing too that it was a bit younger voice. I have a theory that some of the flash may be lost, but in the 50s and potentially into the 60s one's voice actually can be worked better as an instrument. Sinatra is IMHO a perfect example. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinatra is IMHO a perfect example. m Hmmmm, well Joan's version is nice enough, but "I" didn't really hear much of "Joan" in that version...that is to say, she didn't bring much of her own style to it. We've already got Leslie Gore's more restrained version, on record. Maybe, when Joan does it "live" it's more in Her own style, I don't know. I think even Leslie does it rawer and more emotionally, "Live" than her recorded take. That (milder version) was probably Leslie's record company's decision, more than her own? But, it's always been a great song! And, the potential, for Joan to do a really "ballsy," "Joan Jett" version is certainly there. It's almost the perfect song, for her more defiant, and rawer emotional treatment. I, for one, would really like to see her DO that! Dusty Springfield, did a nice version, as well. With just a bit more of her own style, in the mix. Anyway, just my 2-cent's worth... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I looked at this Jett piece and it's about as good as any. In fact, it furthers a theory of mine that "we" should think more of "versions" than "covers." I liked the song when the Everly Brothers did it, Orbison... just heard the Jett version and it's fine. Ditto Emmylou and Parsons. Ditto ditto ditto on what's an interesting tune and good lyric. So... Jett's is as real as anyone's and kinda goes along with my personal feeling that it's a real quality tune and lyric that one can grab and make one's own. m http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92bfkqxIdvI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Milod...I agree...folks doing "covers" should (IMHO) do them, in Their Own Style/Treament, as opposed to trying to come closer to the originals. We already HAVE those originals. Like when Joe Cocker did his cover of The Beatles "A Little Help From My Friends," I LOVED it...because it was HIS take, style, etc.... and, an awesome version, it was! It's ok, to learn something "just like the original," but then learn it, and add your own spin, instead of just copying every thing, over and over, again. IMHO, as always.

surfpup Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I can't believe this voice hasn't been mentioned yet.... the late/great Danny Joe Brown ! am I the ONLY Southerner here?? No, you are not. I grew up (and still live) just down the road from Jacksonville, and while I do love me some Molly Hatchet, I'd not list his voice as being a favorite. Better voices from the same genre... Ronnie Van Zandt Huey Thomasson and Billy Jones Ricky Medlocke Donnie Van Zandt Tommy Caldwell And what about this one? What a set of pipes...
