Betty completely OWNS this song after her version. A great example of a song that is forgettable at best in its original version completely getting blown out of the water by a new performer tackling it. All hail Betty!
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings covered this song in 2005 and stole this arrangement! It's a note-for-note cover, and I dunno if they copped to it or mentioned it in the liner notes to the album "Hot Funky and Sweaty: The Sound of Heavy Soul and Funk Today."
Well, I like the original, but you're right--this one is FAR the better.
