THROWBACK THURSDAY: “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”

This week’s Throwback Thursday cover is by Bootstraps and he takes Whitney Houston’s 80’s pop song and strips it all the way down to just a heartfelt guitar and piano with his haunting voice and it is amazing.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Man in the Mirror”

This week’s Throwback Thursday is another cover and one would think the classic hit from Michael Jackson couldn’t be made more moving or powerful but producer J2 with Utah’s Cameron the Public does just that. If it sounds familiar it was featured on a episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Take a listen and enjoy.

COVER: “Run Runaway”

On Throwback Thursday, we featured Slade’s “Run Runaway” and while searching for the video we discovered a cover from Canada’s folk-rock band Great Big Sea and at first listen we would have bet our lives that they were from Ireland.
