Turn the Beat Around
Gloria Estefan does a very good job doing her cover of Robinson's disco hit. In fact,Even Robinson herself liked it when she heard it.

Now if only someone remixed Vicki Sue Robinson with the Miami
Sound Machine! Gloria cannot hit the high notes all the way. Make sure you hear the long version of VSR's original hit.

Gloria Estefan made that into one of the greatest pop songs of all time. She vocally "nailed" the song perfectly, while the sound production was slick. Even today 13 years later it's still worth turning up loud on the radio.

Gloria didn't necessarily sing it any better but her band is far superior and I love the energy of the cover version as compared to the original.

I have never heard of Vicki Sue Robinson prior to tonight when I heard her name on the Radio. Nobody, Nobody sings better than Gloria

Yeah, well - Gloria's version is not as good as VICKI SUE ROBINSON's. Gloria's comes across as calculated and cold, while VICKI's remains fresh, inspiring and an uplifting anthem. RIP Vicki - we love you forever! Ditto Nicolette Larson & Laura Branigan.

Gloria Estefan should hang her head in shame. VSR was just being nice.

It would be nice to place a picture of Vicki Sue Robinson in all fairness. I think the original is better. If it were not for the original, the cover would not have been thought of.
