I respect and love both artists tremendously. For those who criticize this rendition let me be clear....the mark of a true artist is not to create an exact duplication, but to elevate the work in a manner that is true to the artist performing the work. That's what Porter does. If you search for Stevie Wonder's version of Fragile, Stevie makes it his own. The true beauty is that Sting created a masterpiece capable of duplication for inspiration. THAT is the gift....it keeps on giving.

Terry Hampton 😂😂😂 I appreciate your honesty and your appreciation for what truly is a beautiful song. The lyric is full of thought provoking meaning and the melody is charming. And although the song originated with Sting, Gregory personifies the very image he sings of--and that personification is just the opposite image that the audience, themselves, portray. I wish I could've been paid $10 for every analytical thought they had. Man, I'd of left there with my pockets bursting at the seams!!!

Oh my God. That Roxanne? That's a panty-dropper. That arrangement is ridiiiiiiiiiiiculously good. Who would ever have guessed George Michael would be so perfect for that song? Sometimes, a musician covers another musician's song, and in their hands it becomes the showpiece it was truly meant to be. George Michael did that with Roxanne. Ultimate.
