[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a fun trip down memory lane! Two where the covers are mich more famous than the original: Respect — originally an Otis Redding song but the original doesn’t hold a candle to Aretha Franklin’s version [b]Girls Just Want to Have Fun — I don’t know who originally sang it, but it was a guy[/b] [/quote] You’re right. It was a singer/songwriter named Robert Hazard. Though I’m not sure I would call Cyndi Pauper’s version a “cover” since Hazard never actually released it. Just to try to find a copy you can buy! From what I can tell, all that’s out there is a rough demo. Anyway, thanks for bringing it up because I didn’t know any of this a week ago![/quote] Robert Hazzard was part of the Philadelphia music scene in the 80's. Cyndi's backup band at the time was the Hooters, another Philly band. One of the members co-wrote "Time After Time", which is why you'll see them do a version of it.[/quote]
