Matthew Crosby - Superstar (The Carpenters / Delaney and Bonnie cover)

from Cover Me Turns 10: A Covers Tribute to Covers by Cover Me

	/

about

""Tommy Boy" was my initiation. But with all respect to the Carps (and Farley-Spade) who did it so beautifully, when I really got to know the song it was Rita Coolidge's version on "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", and since then it's been first and foremost a Leon Russell tune to me. It's the quintessential torch song but I've always felt like there was a darker, more pathological thing in there behind the sentimentality -- a kind of delusional quality. You almost wonder if the affair ever happened at all. It's a very dark song when you dig into it."
