A Song For You BoTB Showdown

In January, I shared one the newest Rita Coolidge studio albums. Michael Todd inspired this battle with his discussion on two songs written about her by songwriter, Leon Russell whom she had a romantic relationship with at one time.  

A Song For You although written about Rita, Russell had visions of Frank Sinatra recording the song for him but that didn’t happen.  Instead, Russell did a solo release of the song in 1970.  The following year crooner Andy Williams and R&B artist Donny Hathaway each covered the song giving the song momentum.  Williams recording hit the charts at #82.  The song version I remember best is The Carpenters, though.

In today’s battle, I’m going with two female powerhouses who need no introduction.  Allow me to steal your attention for the next several minutes as I ask you to listen to both artists carefully to make a decision on who you think does it better.

Contender #1 Christina Aguilera & Herbie Hancock
Contender #2 Whitney Houston

I invite you to visit BoTBers with showdowns going on today which can be found in my side bar beneath the BOTB banner.  —->
