I love hearing how one artist can reinterpret another artist's song. We could put together a list of our favorite cover versions of songs, but that would be too long. So for today we're focusing in on women singing songs originally recorded by men. Share your favorites and we'll spin a set.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • Aretha Franklin "Border Song (Holy Moses)"
  • Lauryn Hill "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"
  • Nouvelle Vague "I Melt with You"
  • The Pretenders "Not a Second Time"
  • Joan Osborne "Shake Your Hips"
The Bruce
