Cover Charge #54 - Michael Ball to Tony Christie

Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.

Last time: The Shadows to Michael Ball

After the misery of the last entry in this series, it's time to move back towards stronger material, even if it means a bit of rule bending. For today's cover is actually a collaboration with the original artist... but we have to get off Michael Ball somehow. So from Heroes, his 2011 album of covers and collaborations, here's Michael and Tony Christie, with Avenues and Alleyways.

I don't know about you but I would much rather hear Tony do this on his own, the way I remember it, i.e. as the theme tune to The Protectors.

Next time: chilly simians ahead...

The Cover Charge "chain" to date.
