GREAT COVERS OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS
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?

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

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!}

Turn the Page - Bob Seger cover by Metallica
When interviewed at his Hall of Fame induction, Seger said that he loved their cover, and especially the drums.

MaVolta wrote:@nyadrn - Have You Ever Seen the Rain cover by Willie
Loved it! BTW, the video shot at Luck, Tx is actually Willie's ranch.
@MaVolta Glad you liked it! and thank you for the info. I didn't know that.
I first saw Willie Nelson play more than 40 years ago at a local fall festival where we were just sitting in the bleachers .. he is special

Eva Cassidy performed many remakes of great songs over her short career. She had perfect pitch and the ability to make any song her own. One of my favorite remakes by her is "Fields Of Gold," but she did many many others that were great, including:
"Fields Of Gold"

River Deep Mountain High - Deep Purple
I love this cover of the Ike and Tina Turner classic by Deep Purple. They were experimenting with classical sounds and mixing it with psychedelic-progressive-metal-leaning-rock. Oh, and it has one heck of a guitar riff from Ritchie Blackmore! The original was a whopping 10 minutes on the album, The Book of Taliesyn, which was their second album release in 1969. Also on this album are covers of The Beatles' We Can Work It Out and Neil Diamond's Kentucky Woman.

How about Deep Purple's cover of "Hush?" Not many tracks start off with a wolf howl.
