classic, I'm sure Gord would do as commendable a job as he did on Kristofferson's Bobby McGee but no one does Kris like Kris and no one does Gord like Gord. They are my two fave guys in the world and I like it when they do their own stuff!
I'm not a fan of cover songs at all anyway though!
Kris and Gord - on tour - I'm there all the way baby!
lol

--I saw Ralph Emery on TNN featuring Kris, Willie, Crystal Gayle, Glen Campbell, Bobby Bare and others just recently. Kris sang "Why Me Lord" and "Lovin' Her...".

Char. for the most part I share your attitude on who can sing a song. In many cases a "hit" is predicated on who sings it. To me, "Lovin Her..." is a song that stands the test of time. To whit...a classic. Others could sing it and make it work but it's Kris who gives it that something-something. With that said I'd still like to have heard Gord sing the song in "71" along with Fezo proving he's not pulling our tail.
