KILLER COVERS #004 - Paul Weller - (Rose Royce's) Wishing On A Star

In 2004 Paul Weller worked through a bout of writer's block by recording a covers album. Named after the Amsterdam venue where it was recorded, Studio 150 showcased Weller's take on songs originally recorded by artists as diverse as Gil Scott Heron, The Carpenters, Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix. 

This excellent version of the 1977 Rose Royce hit reached No.11 in the UK chart.




You will note, and no doubt appreciate the fact that at no point in this post have I used that ridiculous term M**f***er.

You're welcome.
