I keep hearing a remake of Foreigners "I wanna know what love is" on the radio a lot lately. I really like the song.

Someone said it was Wynona. But it almost sounds like a male voice.. not female. Has anyone heard it? it's much softer and slower than the original version by Foreigner.

    I'm not sure which version you're hearing but here's a link
    to the people who have covered the song:
    http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDSUB040406051254170970&sql=H714334

    You can probably go on amazon and listen to clips by Wynona
    and others and figure out which person sang the version you like.

    hey thanks mhw58!

    that's cool you can search by song. but yeah on Wynona's latest album.. she does a cover of it. i tried going to CDnow to listen to it.. but it's not online there. I will try Amazon. I'd hate to buy the CD for only 1 song i like. hee hee hee. Not like any of us have ever done that before. ;)

    www.allmusic.com is a great website. You can search by artist, song, album etc. Lots of good info on that site. The Wynona cd gets a good review.

    yeah that's the right song by Wynonna singing.

    here is what allmusic.com had to say in it's review:

    "Wynonna also collaborates with überguitarist Jeff Beck on the shimmering country version of the Mick Jones pop classic "I Want to Know What Love Is." This version may replace the original as its emotion is honestly wrought and pouring over the brim of the track's arrangement."

    very few songs i Hear on the radio.. make my ears **** up and take notice. but as soon as this one played.. i immediately took notice.

    I'll have to check out this Wynona cd. I was a fan of hers about
    10 years ago but lost interest some where along the way.
    She has a fantastic voice.

    I was channel flipping at something like 1am a few weeks ago and saw Wynonna sing that on the Oprah show.........the song has a pretty intense sound.

    Oh ya.......I'm not entirely sure that Wynonna isn't a man.......
