423 - Baby Can I Hold You - The CoverUp

from The CoverUp · host Amanda and Rich Friedeman

We look at one of the best songs from one of the best debut albums ever, and follow with a pair of covers that teach us a lot about how music works and what it really means in the world. Honestly, we didn't see this one coming. Baby Can I Hold You, originally by Tracy Chapman, covered by Luciano Pavarotti, and by Billy Ocean. Outro music is The Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner, as performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
