Brought this topic over from another thread because I thought people might enjoy the chance to compare Taylor performing the song in 2004 and recently in 2007
the original post grew out of LuvMyTayTay's The Full Monty thread referencing Joe Cocker and the song
You Can Leave Your Hat On
I basically had an insomnia induced thought about it being an interesting coincidence that this song should be mentioned now since this week has been a sad anniversary of Katrina and a reminder for us how much devastation there still is in NOLA and other Gulf shore areas - - because You Can Leave Your Hat On was written by Randy Newman who also wrote Louisiana 1927 which is about that horrible flood
and that brought my mind back to Taylor as he has covered the song pre-Idol and now more recently in NOLA
and thought some of you might be interested in a side-by-side sampling
