OK....guess I will have to make my amends on the former orignal. Sorry Mick and Keith, but Steve just blew my ears and mind with this INCREDIBLE cover version! I will honour this rock god by trying to sing and play the song in this way from now on! Thanks for the joy of your musicality, Steve Marriott, you were ONE OF A KIND!

Jax One

@Arno-Luyendijk THANKS ARNO I DO APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY AND YOUR VIEWS

Arno-Luyendijk

@Jax One OK. Your opinion is fair enough, I'll stick to my own nevertheless. It is, of course, not done to compare the two versions as they are both visions of two separate artists. But sometimes, you get struck by a cover version more than the original. That was the only thing I wanted to tell.

Jax One

I LOVE STEVE SMALL FACES HUMBLE PIE BUT NOBODY I DON'T CARE WHO IT IS will ever do it better than the STONES Nobody. ITS IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS THERE IDENTIFYING SONG ONE IN A ZILLION GREATEST TUNE EVER THE STONES OWN IT IT SHOULD BE A CRIME TO TRY TO COVER IT IT CAN NOT EVER BE DONE AS GOOD I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER NONE I DUD STILL KIND OF ENJOY IT BUT NO COMPARISON AT ALL CK THE STONES OUT AGAIN THE ORIGINAL VERSION
