Page 197:
As we move along the cover-version spectrum - as new recordings diverge from the original in ever greater degrees - female voices begin to appear. If used only in the backing vocals, as in the versions by the Cowsills (1969) and by Fred Mollin and the Blue Sea Band (2005), these different vocal timbres just add a bit of richness to the backing track. But when females sing the lead in a love song originally sung from a guy to a girl, the result can take on other meanings.
