For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..

So do you have favorites?

 

What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?

        Beach Boys and I do like it but this

        live version by the Mac really soars

              Carolina in My Mind - John Denver. A bit more raw than James Taylor's. Once John's struggles became known, I went back and listened to his albums. I think there were hints, all along, in the music he put out. This is from his second solo album.

                Where You Lead - Barbra Streisand, with the rock group Fanny backing her up. And it was a hit.

                    In retrospect, this cover is both sad and 💔.  But it was a great cover of a great artist by another great artist. May they both RIP.

                              Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies. I prefer Jim Carroll's cover, but Lou Reed apparently was quoted as saying this was his favorite cover.
