It's amazing, because most folks don't know that this was a cover! That might have something to do with the fact that the Arrows were never a very popular band, but I think it has just as much to do with the fact that Joan took the machismo of the tune and turned it on its head. Her delivery is flawless, and she MADE the song her own in the process!The Gill-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680794257168881000noreply@blogger.com
