Todd is Godd, at least when it comes to his writing and arrangement of "I Saw the Light."

The Otis Redding stands out, as does the Dylan (though I like Livvy's version better):

Otis Redding    These Arms of Mine
U2    With Or Without You
Sinead O'Connor    Nothing Compares To U
Bob Dylan    If Not For You
Cure    Just Like Heaven
Eric Clapton    Wonderful Tonight
Paul McCartney    Maybe I'm Amazed
Todd Rundgren    I Saw the Light
Van Morrison    Have I Told You Lately?
Peter Gabriel    In Your Eyes (Live)

indeed, her first US hit is a lovely underrated cover. I prefer George's version to either, tho'.

I'd forgotten how compelling that PG live perf was.  It was 5 years ago this weekend that I met him at the Rock the Vote Awards - I remember telling people afterward that he was remarkably tall and smelled like peppermint.  Also met Bootsy there, and saw a fantastic live performance (seriously) from Robbie Williams.

Rob sez: "I feel like frickin' Delilah here, so I'm gonna split."  Wha?!?

Delilah is that chick who does a syndicated "love songs" show on weeknites. I believe WLTW runs it in your area -- there was a bit of hubbub when they fired a local live jock and replaced him/her with Delilah.
