Thank YouDuran Duran

A track included on a 1995 cover album where each member of Duran Duran chose songs they love.

The original is by Led Zeppelin.

Although it has a laid-back, grounded rock sound, the rich, embracing vocals and spacious atmosphere make for an arrangement that puts you in a gentle, warm mood.
