Far Away Series is the brain child behind today’s little meme I happily am apart of and with a little help from STMcCP (details on site) together they put together a bi-monthly hop that we know as the….
Let the competition begin. Your pick may decide who wins the show!
Summer is quickly ending, but it doesn’t mean there ain’t no sunshine. Now, that’s a good song title!
In 1971 Bill Withers wrote and recorded #3 R&B hit Ain’t No Sunshine (not included in the battle) and since its release covered at least 131 times. That’s pretty impressive, but even more impressive is the 100+ million YouTube views Withers song received.
I listened to a number of covers for this song and I don’t have a reason why I chose the dueling bands, except to say the music moved me! 😉
The first contender is a band from the UK. I never heard of them until I stumbled across their names on SecondHandSongs.com. This band combines American soul and British folk music giving them a signature flavor all their own. Allow me to introduce to you, Reel & Soul Associates!
Have you heard of the Reel & Soul Association?
The next artist also hails from merry ole England and doesn’t need any introduction. This band has produced music since the 70s. Let’s give it up for Sting!
Did Sting sting RSA or did Reel & Soul Association buzz you away? Okay, my humor (I know what humor?!) stinks…so, bite me already or laugh at my poor attempt, but whatever you do, don’t forget to vote in comments!
Who gets your vote and why? Will it be Reel & Soul or Sting?
Wait, the fun isn’t over till the fat lady sings! I invite you to check out these more amazing battles taking place now!
