Inside Tracks #48: Duran Duran, "Ordinary World" 1992, w/Covers by Luciano Pavarotti, Sister Cristina, Diane Schuur, Fernanda Takai, Dokken's Lynch & Pilson

The passing of a childhood mate inspires Simon Le Bon to honour his memory, helping craft the song that re-kindled the fame his band once enjoyed in heavy '80s MTV rotation.

The covers for “Ordinary World” number at about a hundred and a dozen in the 33 years of its existence. The arrangements are as varied as you might imagine for a song recorded so many times!
