Fridat Night is Music Night: Gender Transfer

[Smokin Joe]

Songs specifically written for either male or female singers that have been covered by both genders, maybe with a few words changed to suit or with the original lyrics.

Note it should not be gender neutral songs that can be sung by either sex.
