Four questions
Nobody?
there may have never been a better singer than Otis Redding, and I love him to death, but got to give this to the godfather. His performance is iconic.
CB: Nobody?
Hi CB, I think I like James Brown’s version better. Very cool sound!
regards, Johan
Not as easy nor obvious as it looks...
And I agree, JB add some kind of magic here !
What about the other comparisons?
CB: Which one do YOU prefer? Where is my mind By Pixies / Maxence Cyrin
The Pixies, every single time. Though I would choose Debaser instead, but that's a completely different question.
No doubt in my mind - the Temptations.
Pixies
Phil Collins
An Pierie
James Brown
The Temptations
typically, I'm an originals man, all the way. BUT, that George Michael medley with "Killer" is just the best!

How weird is that?!! I saw Seal in concert last year and had just finished watching his live version of Killer that I recorded on my phone. I later then went on Beoworld and happened across your post. Spooky!! (Suppose it is nearly Halloween)😉

B&O works in mysterious ways!
It is almost NOT fair to ask me this question, love both, but OMG EDITH PIAF!

Piaf:OMG EDITH PIAF!
It was pretty difficult to find a photo of her smiling!
CB:It was pretty difficult to find a photo of her smiling!
Oh Edith Piaf did smile, but NEVER while performing, that would not go with her style. However in social setting (she was VERY social, and at any hour) she smiled quite a lot, especially if there was a male interest nearby.
Occasionally listening to something from my NAS collection
Occasionally using my V1
I have another unusual one since my last post about The Polish Ambassador... I stumbled across this artist while I was at a music festival that I went to to see the Dave Matthews Band. After seeing him live I bought a couple albums. It wasn't until I got my first B&O equipment that I realized there there was so much more going on in the music (my previous audio equipment was extremely lacking). Like I said... it's not your usual music, but I always enjoy discovering something new and different. The artist is Shpongle.

Best Beatles album? I think maybe. Especially that side b on the Beogram 5005! :)
Duels: Pixies Phil Collins An Pierie James Brown The Temptations
@CB (Christophe) you have set us an interesting task ...
1. Maxence Cyrin (sorry guys)
2. An Pierle
3. Phil Collins
4. Otis Redding
5. Temptations, although I really did like the George Michael medley (I was tempted to wimp out and say it was a tie !)
6. almost no need to listen, Edith owns it ! however I was pleasantly surprised by Grace's rendition
7. David Lee Roth (strange I know, however his energy got to me)
8. Elton John although wan came close, but Billy did not
Makes one think if our preferences are based on memories and recollections rather than being able to listen with a fresh ear !
I'll play the list again tomorrow ... and knowing my fickle nature I'll probably flip one or two
elephant:6. almost no need to listen, ... Makes one think if our preferences are based on memories and recollections rather than being able to listen with a fresh ear !
Almost... but still necessary!
That's exactly what I had in mind when I wrote these messages
Having different mother tongues, it's also interesting to see how we perceive the "music of the lyrics", and the impact on our tastes of understanding these lyrics.
I thought a brain-storm in this thread may be interesting (though certainly hard...)
To illustrate my point: Same song, same music, same singers, lyrics translated from Russian to English
