O.K., a cover, but come on, given what i told you i knew, would you have said ah they but "white boy" crap.What i am saying is on utube threads i get 'reverse racism' about any whites singing soul, they should ask have heard what Redding said about that as Otis Redding and Jagger were good friends, and they BOTH admired the other immensely, Redding thought Jagger the best, and Jagger thought Redding the best. Eric Burdon years with WAR made for some great music--- but i get put downs on Eric Burdon!!!---why? Because he is white. Or the rejection of Janis Joplin, because she is white--and the relentless claim that only afro-americans can sing soul and that whites can't do soul.(this is just "shit" i pick up on utube comments thread lately --and it is , imHo, "reverse racism")
Here is Otis Reddings LAST Performance, that he and most of the bar-keys were dead within 234hrs of this TV show live performance---this teaches, live life like you will be dead tomorrow--- but my fave "Is live life like you are FOREVER but might Die tomorrow."
Here is video that is haunting, because you are looking at people that will be dead the next day.
