One day, they talked about little known groups who re-record famous songs that help start their career. They stated, the for this is 50% of the total royalties. is my favorite source for music and I often follow song remakes. For this blog, I picked "You keep Me Hangin On" in 1966 by The Supremes, remade (as a psychedelic rock song) by Vanilla Fudge in 1967, and again remade in 1986 with a disco beat by Kim Wilde. . |
