If you want to make a career in the music business, you have to cut your teeth somehow. For Elton John, known in his early days as simply "Reggie," that meant doing quite a lot of work as a staff songwriter and sometimes a session pianist. One of those gigs was with the Hollies, who got together with John in June 1969 in what was then EMI Studios in London (it would later become Abbey Road Studios) to record a song written by Bob Russell and Bobby Scott called "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," originally recorded by the American singer-songwriter Kelly Gordon.

Now this is the cover I never knew I needed.

Last week, Kelly Clarkson did an awesome cover of John Michael Montgomery's "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)," and while it was a bit of an unexpected song choice, I need her to start doing way more 90's country covers.

Of course, the song was written by Richard Fagan and Robb Royer and released as the lead single to John Michael Montgomery's 1995 self-titled album.

It was named Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks' #1 single for 1995, and obviously became an all-time classic 90's country song that fans still know and love to this day.

Kelly is known to cover the heck outta some country pretty often on her show The Kelly Clarkson Show, but this just hits different and I can't get enough.

Seriously, she doesn't miss and I will never get over her voice... check it out:
