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?

      No self respecting Dead Head would be wrong by answering this question with Turn On Your Lovelight.  Originally recorded in 1961 by Bobby “Blue” Bland, the Dead covered it in 1966.  It remains a staple to this day with Dead & Company, and one of my favorite covers.

          I'd have to  change it to :"great covers by your favorite artists". As an unabashed & diehard Tom Waits fan,I think  his best covers are :"Sea of Love",John the Revelator"& "Somewhere." but his original music is in a class by itself.- that voice!- a voice only a mother (& people like  me) could love! {Not for the faint of heart!}

              The song is by Leon Russell, and Donny Hathaway covered it. But either way a great pick.

                I think Will To Power did a very good job with Peter Frampton's song I Love Your Way and 10CC's song I'm Not In Love.

                    I think Buddy Holly was smiling in heaven on that one.

                      Simon & Garfunkel cover of the Everly Brothers song, Bye Bye Love  - from the 1970 album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. It's a perfect fit!

                      I've always liked Crowded House's song, Don't Dream It's Over.  I recently heard a version by Diana Krall which is really good.

                      Paul Young does that one also. It's pretty good.

                        Leo Sayer did an excellent version of Bobby Vee's (I don't know the original artist) More Than I Can Say.
