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?

It's not Stevie, but it's still a real nice cover of a great song written by Stevie.

Can't Believe You Wanna Leave - Little Richard cover by Ian Gillan & Roger Glover

Little Richard was Gillan's hero, along with Elvis. They inspired him to become a singer (per his autobiography). Actually, Little Richard inspired them all, including Elvis!

Nice pick Volta-I met him at the LA Song Writers Show Case in '96. Being honored as one of the true fathers of rock and roll. After a long list of his contributions to the industry and a five minute standing O, he told us to shut up, of course. That was Little Richard . Barely 5'5" tall, but a true giant, and icon. Size XXXXX large personality and talent. It was amazing meeting him.
