Not a Weller fangirl but I just love this.



This is not as good as the original but I like it

Not a bad version version of Wishing on a Star but won’t beat Rose Royce (Gwen Dickey’s voice especially) and as for Thinking of You, sorry, I think he’s killed it.

 

[JRockBlues]

Really good live cover especially considering English isn't her 1st language...

 

[Bill Walker]

Best cover version of a BeeGees song.

Shakin Steves’s version of Green Door is the best version. It’s better than the original, Frankie Vaughan or the Cramps. Don’t believe me? Just listen. :)
