Under the covers

[J E B Stuart]

Wikipedia provides: "You Could Have Been a Lady"was written by Errol Brown and Tony Wilson of the British soul band Hot Chocolate in 1969. While originally released by Hot Chocolate in 1971, the song is well-known for the 1972 cover version by the Canadian rock band April Wine."

With that in mind, let me just that April Wine is hands-down one of the most superb rock bands to ever hit the scene.  And they're still in business even though Miles Goodwin passed in 2023:

Here is the original:

Amen.

[Herman]

Miles and the boys were pretty fair musicians but they were not good song writers.
