Songbird: Original and Cover-which is better?

[SteveMacD]

I've heard both, and obviously like Christine's version better. But, Eva was a friend of Mick's, too, so I'm not shocked that he said something glowing about it. I have a hunch her recording the song in the first place was probably his idea. It's a different take.

And, it works both ways. I still think Christine's cover of "I'd Rather Go Blind" pales in comparison to the original Etta James version. (I bet Christine agrees.) I still love Christine's version, though.
