In addition to Chicago's "Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home," KOPN played another strong Charles Earland cover Thursday night. Multiple artists have covered the Gerry Goffin and Carole King-penned tune, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" (Some versions are titled "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?") The Shirelles recorded the most well-known version.
Earland recasts it as a jazz organ shuffle with ample room to expand on the theme and improvise. It's a respectful way of honoring the original melody while filtering it through Earland's sensibilities. It's similar to the way Richard "Groove" Holmes covers "Misty" on the organ.
