This is great! I really like Madonna's photo too. How did you get her to do it? If I would have been able to dance I would have! I can still pat my foot. Wonderful!

Thanks Andy.......(I actually was learning and recording it at the same time.....lol). Daryl just knows how to make anyone sound good.  Yes, Mrs. Daryl's voice is excellent and perfect for this song.....I especially appreciated the great backup vox's/harmonies. I'm just honoured to be included in this little project with such excellent musicians.

Pretty much a faultless cover, sounds superb through my headphones. 10/10 for production and performances.

I took your bass part, wrapped it in a blanket and stored it in a badger's set for 2 months - it came out all fresh and fluffy

Daryl,
Nice work, sounds like the original except the singing is good on your version;) I also like how you brought the bass, drums and percussion out front on your version vs. the Madonna version. Sounds really good.
Regards

Baps, my (very) limited experience with playing live taught me that if the drummer and the 'bazz' player were not in sync, then you were totally chingado. And you got da groove, here! In the pocket. Cheers, Bert

I'm going to need to hear this quite a few more times to get my fill. It's great to hear it again performed with the same sensuality that was there in the original. When Madonna plays this live now, she changes it too much and just turns out weird IMO. Liz captures here what Madonna seems to have lost after her second album. A huge talent that current Mrs. Daryl 1968. A wonderful production I greatly appreciate. Oh sorry, I missed brother Mesh was the guitar on this, masterful work my brother

Hi Daryl, nice cover, excellent vocals. Pity about the guitar, timing is way of.
Rik
Everyone thinks it, Rik sez it.  You're absolutely right Rik and appreciate your honest feedback. I also thought the timing was off as I rushed in trying to get the recording done quickly. If time permits, I'll try & redo the guitar to give some justice to the other excellent performances.

there was a guitar? there was a bass? I'm just here for the singing. Great voice, better than Madonna's which is not very high praise actually. You get the point, hopefully!
All seriousness aside, great mix on this.

I thought that was a great cover. I must be honest, I didn't hear anything wrong with the guitar work! The vocals sound so clear and crisp, and everything is very well balanced.
