Mariah Carey took a Jackson 5 classic and turned into her own #1 hit.....of course, with her voice, it wasnt too hard...this one surpassed the original i believe...

club Nuveau scored their only major hit with the old Bill Withers classic, when they added a funky beat and leant their song to a really great movie "Lean on Me"...

well, i have to admit, i liked the original, i dont like the remake....but in all fairness, i was a teen in the 80's and 80's music is the bomb to me...i loved it....all the 1 hit wonders and all, made for a great era of music....i consider myself a trivia buff when it comes to 1 hit wonders, and 80's music.....my favorite era of all time.....so the synthesizer laden original, is pure music to me....
