Nothing Takes the Place of You


The ska beat does take too much of the melancholy out of this song, but I still like it. It's a successful cover. 

Toussaint McCall had the original on this one, and he really nailed it. Nice, sparse production, 6/8 time, death-beat slow, it's the saddest fucking song of all time. Al Green did a nice version. You know I love these covers.
