So tomorrow, we're going to have on John Oates of Hall and Oates. My intrepid producer found that the band has had 7 platinum albums, 6 gold albums, and 34 hit singles on the Billboard top 100.

So... why is this driving me nuts?

There is a black female folk singer who did a cover of "Rich Girl" but for the life of me I can't remember it. It was a very stripped down, almost bluesy version, as opposed to the more uptempo and argumentative voice in the H&O version.

Who was it who did the cover?

Somebody help me out here!!!
