And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Booth and the Bad Angel saw Tim Booth joining forces with Angelo Badalamenti. It’s not just his name in the title; Badalamenti’s keyboards tell the story too.
2. Céline Dion covered a track associated with “Licence to Kill.” Patti LaBelle had previously lent her voice to the Bond anthem before Dion’s rendition.
3. Nancy Sinatra first brought “Kinky Love” to life long before Pale Saints took a stab at it in the 90s. Covering classics was all the rage then.
4. The action-comedy “Bad Boys” played host to this Jon B. and Babyface collaboration. Smooth moves and smoother beats were part of the cinematic appeal.
5. Paul Young’s cover made it big on Adult Contemporary charts. Eugene Record’s original continues to resonate through diverse versions.
6. Portrait reimagined “How Deep Is Your Love” with a 90s R&B twist, keeping nostalgic sentimentality intact as they embraced the Bee Gees’ classic.
7. “San Francisco Days” not only opens Chris Isaak’s more upbeat 1993 album but sets the tone for his rock and roll approach on that record.
8. Before becoming “Spirit Tales,” Stephen Simmonds’ debut was called “Alone.” It was released in Sweden prior to achieving broader international recognition.
9. The UK Singles Chart saw Smooth’s “Undercover Lover” making a brief appearance. It’s just one entry in a bustling mid-90s list of hits.
10. Vanessa Williams featured “The Way That You Love” on “The Sweetest Days,” blending emotion and melody in her early 90s release.
11. Alongside Gary Moore’s efforts, Chris Tsangarides co-produced “I Have Found My Love in You.” Their collaboration added depth to the 1997 track.
12. Joe Cocker delivered his version of “Unchain My Heart” in 1987. The cover, much like the original, is ever recognizable in his robust style.
