Breaktime Whodunnit (6 March 2023)

Mister Bump UK,

Welcome to The Rhythm Section! To compliment your morning tea or coffee (don’t forget that chocolate biscuit!), I have looked for some simple, chilled-out covers of songs you already know. Take the weight off your feet.

While in most cases (all, I hope) you’ll recognise the song, it’s quite unlikely you’ll know the artist. They’re largely unknown, they generally don’t have proper videos (for which I apologise) and more often than not, don’t have a Wikipedia page, even, so I know very little about them. So, I’ll keep my blurb to a minimum, you’ll be relieved, and simply present the track.

Lastly, it wouldn’t be as much fun if I didn’t present you with a little challenge. But I’m going to be boring with my question. Tell me who sang the original. Just write a comment, is cool. This is all for fun.

Oh, and don’t forget to check back for another excellent post from Nancy tomorrow.

To start the series, Hurrah for the Riff and Jealous Guy.

So, how’s your memory today? Who was it sang the original version?

Separated with a grown/flown daughter. In life, I designed IT systems, taking a career break as a bicycle mechanic, until interrupted by a stroke in 2016, aged 48. On my way back into full-time work, I developed health-related apps and performed voluntary work. I enjoy composing limericks and flash fiction in my spare time.

      1. 😂😂 I was wondering what the heck you were getting at, Nick, but I chalked it up to too much ouzo in your black coffee LOL!! Hey, we’ve all been there and the initials are the same.
        For the record, JLo is not high on my list of faves! 🖤

  6. Lennon. He’s never been at the top of my fav list, I was always a Rolling Stones type, and still am, but this song is a successful test of time, and a great cover. I hope that you’re able to keep this up after you start your new job, because I’m enjoying this a lot.

      1. I had all of the Beatles albums, and at the time played Rubber Soul and the White Album the most, but I still play the Stones albums nowadays. I have one of their concerts on DVD, although we don’t have a DVD player anymore. LOL!

    2. I’ve always written the bulk of the music posts on bank holidays, so it shouldn’t affect it. The ones that will take the research are the Name That Tune ones, just because of the research involved.
