This is ok & I like Barbara Mandrell, but I'm a person who always favors Originals.
This cover is absolutely no competition for Shirley Brown's original version. The way I see it is if you can't make the song better than it was the first time (which is impossible when the song you're attempting to remake is already perfect), LEAVE IT ALONE!
It's hard to see the originality, since it's not really country-fied and more or less a Philly-er version of Brown's record, but a lot of country from that era was given a glossy pop sheen that could contain traces of R&B at the time, with only a mere trace of slide guitar to betray the Nashville pedigree of the act. Mandrell did have a yen for R&B covers, though, and beyond the classic oldies or blues that account for most of the others.
This song was originally recorded by Shirley Brown in 1974 and was Grammy nominated. Barbara Mandrell covered it in 1977. Meanwhile, Tammy Wynette also recorded a song called "Woman to Woman" in 1974, but it was an entirely different song. Hope this clears it up.
Barbara Mandrell was the TOTAL package. Looks, sex appeal, voice, personality, like Elvis she had it all! I can appreciate her even more now given the virtual wasteland of talentless "stars" out there today. Got NOTHING on her!
@scottli97 This sounds wonderful. At first I was like, ok..can she do a Shirley Brown soul song...and yes..Barbara Mandrell killed it... lol.... Sounds very soulful......Blue-eyed soul lol

I enjoy BM's version very much, but I also like the more soulful version by Shirley Brown.

Tammy Wynette has my heart on this tune. Barbara comes in second!

Wrong song. There was a completely different "Woman To Woman" done by Tammy a few years before this song by Barbara came out.
