| ezzyme (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Mar 26, 2006 - 17:42 Great mixer! Keep it eclectic! And a well done revisit to the original, very true to the feeling. |

I would, too! I thought this was, Queen Latifah does such a wonderful job of recreating the arrangement and singing of the original. |
| Xeric (Various Strata) | Posted: Feb 25, 2006 - 08:05 Oh good Gawd no. Though I must surely have fired iTunes up to the wrong station. But no . . . |
| ollybear (Toronto) | Posted: Feb 10, 2006 - 14:17 I would love to hear the original Barbara Lewis version sometime. |
| hippiechick | Posted: Feb 10, 2006 - 14:16 I dig this song! though I think I like the original better. It had more emotion. QL has a nice voice; I never actually heard her sing before. |

Well, look at her, um lungs. |
| maLeFunKtion (Scotland) | Posted: Feb 10, 2006 - 14:16 "me and... me and... Mrs... Jonesssssss" Oops, wrong song. Wonder if that'll be next?  |
| betsy (New York) | Posted: Jan 26, 2006 - 21:39 Nifty! |

No - it simply cannot compare - lacks the soul, heart and feel of the original......... |
| tulfan (Westland, MI) | Posted: Dec 28, 2005 - 19:32 I had no idea Queen could actually hold a note like that - and what a note it is. Solid. |

| ruthless (Walkin in Memphis) | Posted: Dec 14, 2005 - 08:06 First heard this CD in a shop in NYC. I did not recognize it to be her at all. It is an excellent recording. |
| Zep (Under a hat under the sky under the sun under a big black hole.) | Posted: Dec 14, 2005 - 08:06 Do her friends address her as "Queen?" Like, "Hey Queen, could you pass the salt?" |

I thought it was the original. But that's okay--great song. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. |
| lester | Posted: Nov 15, 2005 - 01:59 First time hearing this. A very nice rendition. |

| drover (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 17, 2005 - 09:34 What a nice tune, well done too. |
| spaceman (Vienna, Austria) | Posted: Sep 17, 2005 - 09:19 I think i heard this in an elevator today. Yawn. |

Let me elaborate. Wow. I really like this song, and I think it's cool that BillG plays it. |
| ChardRemains (Pepperland) | Posted: Sep 02, 2005 - 12:35 Nicely done, Dana. You sound like a grown up. And this song reminds me of summers by the pool in NY. |

| pyxxel (Dublin, Ireland) | Posted: Jul 05, 2005 - 07:08 ewwww nooooo me no like. Maybe she can sing but the song is sickly sweet.... |
| StevenQ (Ahead of Myself, Behind the 8-Ball and Next to Nothing) | Posted: Jun 23, 2005 - 10:42 I submitted this song just last week. It never even went into the LRC, went directly to the playlist. I guess they REALLY liked it. Ive got another song that has been on the LRC for about 3 or 4 months now. As for the person who asked why it makes the playlist, its damn good music.

| KevinM (Long Beach, Ca) | Posted: Jun 20, 2005 - 14:10 I did not hear this song so I can't rate it but I did hear her sing (notice I did not say rap) I think it was the grammy's a couple months ago. She has a damn good voice, now if she can stay away from that rap garbage.... |

Hey...don't be hatin' I was listening to this and did a double take when I saw who it was. I thought it was a great vocal, and truely deserving of RP. |

What would your criteria be? |
| passsion8 (within blast zone of NYC) | Posted: Jun 20, 2005 - 14:02 Dang... I does like this cover. She got's the sweet delivery down. Nice accompaniment, too. |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Jun 20, 2005 - 14:02 Nothing wrong with this version.....a smooth Smokey Robinson Mowtown sound, nice feel to the song, pleasant....thumps up. (You go girl!) |
| moshevelvul | Posted: Jun 20, 2005 - 14:02 wow - Dana can sing, and this song always gives me chills for some subconscious reason. The B3 makes it sweet and lonely at the same time. |
| ScottFromWyoming (Powell, Wyo.) | Posted: Jun 20, 2005 - 14:02 Ha! Thought it was the original (so why bother?) but it's still really good. She's great in Living Out Loud, the movie starring Holly Hunter, too. |
