Hear Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' Not-Quite Cover of 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours'

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' take on Stevie Wonders 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours' will appear on a new compilation

and the Dap-Kings’ sly interpretation of Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours,” which will be included on an upcoming compilation,The new set features five never-before-heard covers and a handful of others that were previously released in other formats. The covers include a cross-section of faithful recreations and others — like this take on “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” — that are practically new tracks.

Jones and the Dap-Kings recorded “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” for a TV commercial for a major bank, although their version bears little resemblance to Wonder’s 1970 hit. The upbeat groove has been stretched into something slinky and soulful, while the lyrics are completely different, aside from one nod to the original, when Jones coos the refrain, “But here I am, baby…”

These types of overhauls are a common occurrence in the film, TV and advertising worlds. Licensing an original master recording for a major label can often be expensive, so to skirt those costs, music supervisors will ask artists to recreate a song as closely as possible.
