   I do believe Chicago did an entire SINGLE cover, my brother reminded me   
   about it, on their very first album Chicago Transit Authority, the Spencer   
   Davis Group Steve Winwood written "I'm A Man"...and I think Chicago did it   
   even better better ;)   
      
   And who wants to be hired to do covers when they could be hired to their own   
   Originals?

   I believe it's about 'locking' onto the first Awesome version of a song and   
   considering other versions inferior only if they really are inferior!

   Was he ever a 'good fit', like when the band first formed?   
      
   Some jobs involve risk.  That's how reality works. To make everything   
   risk free is a pipe dream.

   It's not that. For gosh sakes, merely existing is risky. Rather, it's how   
   well one reduces and minimizes risk that determines how long they'll stay   
   around, as in the old addage; There are old pilots and there are bold   
   pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots...though I'm not sure how much, or   
   how much of that I believe ;)
