Following the same rules as the other "What ____ am I" threads, the point of this thread is that you ask yes or no questions until someone guesses the correct song. That same person then chooses the next song.

A song by an American artist from 1970s but probably known better as a cover by another artist. This version was written by him. Reply #6702. Jan 12 17, 11:16 PM |

Neil Diamond recorded "I Am a Believer", which he had written, in 1971. Before that, it had been recorded by The Monkeys... Reply #6703. Jan 13 17, 5:59 AM |

Neither of those - but both the writer/singer and the cover version are by male single artists - more obscure than Neil Reply #6705. Jan 13 17, 4:05 PM |

Does the cover version also date from the 70s? Is the cover artist also American? Reply #6706. Jan 14 17, 4:53 AM |

Is it a country song? Reply #6707. Jan 14 17, 5:10 AM |

The original version would be considered sort of Bob Dylanish and the cover may be Jazzy. Found out a duo released a cover version in between the original and the cover previously mentioned. Reply #6708. Jan 14 17, 11:12 PM |

Leonard Cohen comes to mind - Bob Dylanish and died last year. But I don't know a song by LC that is better known in a cover version by somebody else... Reply #6710. Jan 15 17, 6:17 AM |

Not the late great Leonard - this guy is about 8 years younger, and American - more obscure. The cover was done a bloke about the same age as the original. The duet - one is deceased ... the singer. Reply #6711. Jan 15 17, 11:04 PM |

Leon Russell and his "A Song for You" fits the bill, except there are quite a few cover version of it, including Donny Hathaway and the Carpenters, but also Ray Charles, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin to name just a few. Am I by any chance lucky? Reply #6712. Jan 16 17, 5:44 AM |

I am confused about "Rainbow in Your Eyes" - I think LR released it first, but then the song is also attributed to Al Jarreau, who released around the same time. Reply #6715. Jan 17 17, 1:35 AM |

Sorry not the right one but a great song - about Rita Coolidge I believe Reply #6716. Jan 17 17, 1:35 AM |

Two different songs with the same title - what a coincidence - Leon's was for his wedding album ... yes I am a Leon fan... Reply #6717. Jan 17 17, 1:50 AM |

Not just the same title, also the same lyrics! Reply #6718. Jan 17 17, 1:37 PM |

So far I can't find any song that fits the bill, completely... A song written by and performed by Leon Russell, better known as performed by somebody else (male and about the same age as LR), plus also covered by a duo of which the singer is deceased. You didn't answer explicitly whether the cover version os also from the 70's. Actually I the original version is not necessarily from the 70s, you just said that it was by a 70s artist. Reply #6719.

Leon did it in 1972 - the other artist did it in 1976 and the Carpenters did it in 1973 - to be honest I don't remember the Carpenters version but remember the other artists one has it was quite a hit. Reply #6720. Jan 17 17, 3:41 PM |
