Actually, recording "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper with respect to Miles
CAN be explained: Miles himself recorded the song during the 80's (as well
as Michael Jackson's "Human Nature") and performed it quite a bit during the
end of his touring days. Don't know what album it was on; I'm not a big fan
of Miles' 80's music.
