To: <love-hounds@gryphon.com>
A recent airline commercial in the USA uses Elton John's Rocket Man tune as a major part (an unidentified female singer, not Kate). This and a recent rehearing of Elton's own singing of it, brought to mind Kate's version. Has anyone done a cover of it that even approaches the Kate Bush version? If we were to have a list of favorite covers by Kate, RM would be my top choice. Wellllll, OK, here goes: Favorite covers by Kate: 1. Rocket Man (wonderful!) 2. Brazil (just wish it were a lot longer) 3. The Handsome Cabin Boy (I know, its a "traditional") 4. Lord Of The Reedy River (but you could overlay the Donovan track and have pretty close to a duet) .
