Scott was such a phenomenal bass player.

[@ozone385]

The harmonizing between these 3 ladies is amazing.

[@ronfreeman5857]

Like the way they resurrect the oldies, and dust em off, give em a new polish... and add their bit of magic... well done guys..

[@lisalawton7867]

They're doing it more like The Bangles!💕 I really like the Foxes and Fossils cover!!

[@johndiamond5824]

WOW harmonies do not get any better than this. Dream team F&F.

[@robertfox499]

There isn't a single person in this group that is not a musical heavyweight. Every Fossil and Fox just continuously amazes me every time. For a rendering of a composition to continuously amaze it has to suprise the listener nearly every time. But F&F videos surprise the listener EVERY - EVERY - EVERY time for their speed, dilligence, harmony, stage presence, obvious respect for eachother and for the original composers / performers. The guitarists are awesome. Johhny Pike DOES channel Hal Blaine (RIP) and then some. Maggie is a marketing and communications genius and all three gals OWN any song they solo in. And when singing together they are like SIX powerful female voices not three. Their artfullness actually re-envigorates old and venerable compositions which we had forgotten about (I grew up in the sixties/seventies). Any now retired artist ought to be extremely proud to have F&F cover their greatest hits because it only makes us want to go back and remember an original and be thankful for the music we were given.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Hundred percent agree with everything you've said here. Would like to add, as a struggling KZbin Creator I would like to compliment the camera work and the skilled editing work to put these videos together. I really don't think people who are just watching KZbin videos actually have a clue what it takes behind the scenes with the camera and the skill it requires with a good video editor to get this to come off like it does.

[@robertfox499]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 Yes. I totally agree. Even the very old outdoor F&F vids and the Mustang vids have pretty good sound quality. But the camera work on the studio recordings they have done are excellent. And then of course there is the historic Suite Judy Blue Eyes rendering which is just... well... words fail me every time on that vid.

But thank God things keep getting closer and closer to normal every day. Fyi y'all great music has kept me sane during the 53 weeks of the pandemic. Thank you and God bless everyone in F & F and all of my brother and sister fellow fans. You guys just gotta do a concert in nyc.

[@dleigh112]

A song choice which disturbs my teenage sense of the 1966 original, but then I never paid attention to the lyrics. There's a dissonance between the melancholy imagery and the driving beat, a sense of a life being passed by but a strong inner urge to do something about it. This has made me reimagine the song, and that's what a good cover should do.
