I think Beni may have something to say here?
We all need to move with the times so we can execute our personal goals
I like both but I still think I sway towards the Original but here goes

"Got My Mind Set on You" (also written as "(Got My Mind) Set on You") is a song written and composed by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962, under the title "I've Got My Mind Set on You". An edited version of the song was released later in the year as a single on the Dynamic Sound label credited to James Ray with Hutch Davie Orchestra & Chorus.

In 1987, George Harrison released a cover version of the song as a single, and released it on his album Cloud Nine, which he had recorded on his own Dark Horse Records label.

Good evening Dave & Alan..
Good call regards covers, I was fortunate to see Kate Bush, I love this song but was drawn to to this version ....love or hate. Certain memories trigger certain songs & this is one.

Good call Mike. Here's Kate's original:

Money by the Beatles caused a big storm.

The original version of The only Way Is Up by Otis Clay in 82 wasn't as good as Yazz version in 88

Smith's fans will possibly not like this version.
