version of This Flight Tonight
done by Nazareth in the 1970's...

Oh, she's crying all the way to the bank! ;~)
Given that her entire catalog hasn't outsold Tapestry, I would bet that
a lot of Joni's wealth has been from the combined sales of all of those
covers. Although probably NOT from that Brother Love Canal version...
She discusses going for the "little royalty pennies" early on in her
career, and she may have not had a lot of bonafide hits herself, but
lordy she has been well-covered, probably only topped by The Beatles &
Dylan I would guess in terms of the number of her songs that have been
recorded by others.
But to get back to what you were saying, she does introduce BSN on her
1983 tour by referring to it as "the child with the most mileage" and
that she didn't always approve of the company it kept! ;~)
