No grade? Don’t leave me hanging!
B- I thought I had filled in that I get everything filled out- listen to the song and then assign a grade… hmmm .. thanks for the catch.
She does a good job on this. She has a lot of feeling in her voice.
One of the few covers I love as much or more than the original.
I like how she made it her own. That being said, I still prefer the original by the Stones, which I’ve always really dug.
I like her version also- but you can’t improve on The Stones.
