Yacht Soul : The Cover Versions 2

Description

Welcome to the never-ending Yacht Soul cruise! This theme, explored at length in the previous installment of this series, is fertile ground and keeps on giving, and that is certainly the case on the tracks we have dug up for your enlightenment and enjoyment on Yacht Soul 2.For those just joining us, the concept here concerns R&B and soul artists mining the songbooks of their white contemporaries for covers that serve the dual purpose of potentially garnering crossover radio play and introducing great songs to segments of the audience who might otherwise miss them. Some of these versions may have come about because they were personal favorites of the artist in question, but all offer a completely fresh perspective on already fantastic songs.
