You Made Me So Very Happy

Blood, Sweat & Tears

1969

I like this song, especially when sung by Brenda Holloway’s beautifully soulful voice. Random fact: she originally co-wrote and released this song in 1967, two years before Blood, Sweat & Tears. I wonder if there are any more contemporary examples of this in music. The only example that comes to mind is from movies, where the Hulk from 2003 was “rebooted” to make the Incredible Hulk in 2008.

There are HUNDREDS of examples of this. Everything from The Byrds making it big with Dylan’s Tambourine Man, to Alien Ant Farm making the charts with Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal (which was a pretty criminal remake!)
