'Original'?

As in an original composition, as I'd say 'Amarillo' was better given the whole concept but it was an old song re-released.

Tamar's Love & War for the number one spot! :worthy:

But it's not an original composition, it's a cover (as was "Perfect Day" of course)

Oh you know what I mean. It was the first release of that version of the song.

No, I'm still not really sure what you mean at all.

 

Are you referring to the original of "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" from the 60s?

I agree with RFC, the Various Artists 'Perfect Day' from 1997 was an excellent version of an old track. The additon of all those musicians (rather than D-list popstars) being included made the track all the more awe inspring. The instrumental part led by Courtney Pine (soprano saxophone player) is one of the most spine tinglingly great pieces of music I've ever heard.

 

Not heard this new version of 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' so intrigued by this. Will YouTube the video later on.

No, the only other charity single since 'Perfect Day' I've liked more was 'Amarillo' but that was exactly the same song, just re-released with the gimmick elsewhere. Both 'Perfect Day' and 'He Ain't Heavy...' are new compositions of old songs, so it's the best 'original' (i.e. not a re-release of an old song) charity track since PD.

It was confusing wording, seeing as Amarillo was the ORIGINAL recording of an ORIGINAL song.
