Up The Ladder To The Roof - Cover Versions

Cover Versions

Bette Midler recorded the song for her live album "Live at Last" (1977)

The Nylons covered "Up the Ladder to the Roof" a capella in a 1982 recording, which was featured in the 1987 film Made in Heaven. In 1997, the female leads of the Fox Network sitcom Living Single (Queen Latifah, Erika Alexander, Kim Fields, and Kim Coles) performed the song in an episode during a fantasy sequence depicting them as a Supremes-esque girl group called the Flavorettes.

This song is also featured in the 2010 Everyday Rapture, starring Sherie Rene Scott. In the show, the song is sung by Scott and two backup singer characters known as the Mennonettes.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or versions:

    “Again we have here two distinctions that are no distinctions, but made to seem so by terms invented by I know not whom to cover ignorance, and blind the understanding of the reader: for it cannot be conceived that there is any liberty greater, than for a man to do what he will.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
    —Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
