Good call Vi. Jaki & David's version is so much smoother and better produced in my opinion. Their other duet, "Mated" was a great track of the times as well.

The Carpenters version of a Kind of Hush I prefer to the original by Herman's Hermits.

Karen Carpenter was, in my opinion, the best ever female vocalist.

Inner City's Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin' was a good cover in my opinion, especially the Frankie Knuckles mix.
The Stephanie Mills original is good too.

Richard Harris recorded the original version of 'MacArthur Park' back in 1968. Ten years later a fantastic disco version was released by Donna Summer; it reached No.1 in the US. Vi
