Legacies: Womack & Womack - Teardrops

Husband and wife musicians, Cecil and Linda (daughter of Sam Cooke) Womack recorded this great synth powered house inspired pop song in the late eighties. The single was their most successful track reaching number one in multiple countries worldwide including Australia. It's been covered by several musicians to date with Australia's Kate Alexa's version the most recent.



Just to be complete, here's the absolutely unnecessary No Angels version which is a soulless and cynical attempt to cash in on a classic tune.



Perhaps the cover that even remotely comes close to the original is Lovestation's, first released in 1998.



Lastly here's Joey Negro's (incidentally, he's probably better known under his Jakatta or Raven Maize aliases) 12 inch mix of the Lovestation update. It's a nice retro dancefloor version that does the original justice.
