  • It's fascinating that a pop song by the pastiest of white men is such a staple in R&B. Todd is a great singer songwriter and I think Mary J actually does this the best. For me the Isleys over do it, but she hit the sweet spot.

  • From a Todd fan since 1973....you did this justice!!!

    Do more Todd...he's a very soulful guy!

  • amazing cover

  • Nice cover, but I still think the original by Rundgren is the best and amel larrieux comes in a close second...

  • @belleg1980 /listen to ron isley you may be suprised

    

  • mary rocked this song

  • Love the old version But Mary J. is amazing!! Thank you Mary

  • LOve MJB- this is better, the more I listen to it..love the original Rundgren version

  • I'd have to say this is my least favorite version of the song as well. But I agree she made it her own. It's still Todds song and always will be

  • Not that good, Groove Theory's version is so much better, Amel Larrieux voice, and style of singing fitted this song so much better

  • As a HUGE Todd Fan... Mary did an awesome cover!!!

  • LOVE YOU MARY AND 99.99% OF THE TIME YOU CAN DO NOTHING (NADA!) WRONG, BUT THIS SONG IS FOR NAZZ! SORRY. DAVEDJ

  • I love this version just as much as the Original, just beautiful and I think it's the best cover of any song i've heard!

  • This is my least favorite version of this song. Groove Theory, John Legend, & the Isley Brothers all did a better job of covering this amazing Todd Rundgren song.

  • Like the big horns. She keeps it classic. Wow!!!

  • whats wrong with you cats this song rocks!!!!!!!!!!

  • @jabr1212 THEY ARE SOME HATERS

  • Very nice!

  • i dont like this version at all....this is a beautiful song by todd. i am a toddite, this doesnt do any justice to his song....

  • @fpinon5150 FOH -- she writes most of her songs. Even the greats cover others' music, fucker.

  • This ain't close to the brothers. Not much respect and heart went to this version.

  • DIVA !!!!!!!

  • This is Great!

    thanks:)

  • Her version sounds like the Isley Bros. version............

  • Nice.......Mary gave it soul with a touch of jazz and old school flava...love it

  • Wow! Not just any artist could take this song and make a rendition of it that it's both original and retains the essence of the song. Keep'em coming honey.

  • Gave a good vibe to the song, she made it her own, I'd say.

  • Hella good version! Few artists can cover this song and pull it off- MJB did it successfully! I love the live band as well! Groove Theory did a cover back in '95 too!

  • The best version by miles - that Mary J Blige has gone and done it again!! Amazing!

  • cool version i never heard it before...

    i ;ove the original todd's version but this is

    cool kind of fresh and fluid...

  • Mary knows that Todd is a Wizard, a true star

  • Mary's version of the song is the best!

  • well, i wouldn't say that. it's a great rendition but nothing beats the original. i do love the soul they poured on this track tho.

  • Not bad. Good production. Probably at the same caliber as the original version. My favorites, in order:

    1. Todd

    2. MJB

    3. Isley Bros.

  • @micmac99

    perfect comments mirrcmac. Tood oringal could never be beat but of the artists who have tried to remake the Rundgren classic, Mary's is the best to date. Much better than John Legend other recent rendeition of this song.

  • Amazing cover. She's just great... One of the best singers I ever heard

  • @elnoell69 Honestly we all know Amel Larrieux tour that song up the best cover an it had more soul to it. with a touch of jazz..

  • I love this version...Big ups to Todd Rundgren

  • i love this song
