Details: I said it so well in 2006... There've been a number of great songs written and sung over the years. And some of them were just too good to pass by without other artists picking them up. The Hot Spot will be highlighting these songs with "Now and Then". In these two weeks you'll hear two recordings of each song- the first by the original (or earlier) artist, and the second by a more recent cover version of the very same song. Blow your mind with how dissimilar the very same words and tune can sound when performed by different artists!
