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?

Just heard this one today . . . and it was terrific (IMO)! The lead singer is Amanda Sommerville and her voice is amazing, a beautiful mezzo soprano. You don't hear many female singers that sing a beautiful low register like that (other than opera). And BTW, I love the Bonnie Tyler version, always have! 💛

I was watching some Elvis tributes and found this one by my favorite band from a 1994 show. Love that they went acoustic. 👍 Nice work, Scorps!

They have covered Dylan quite a lot over the years. This one is my favorite, and possibly my favorite Dylan cover of all time. It features a outstanding duet with Noel McCalla and Chris Thompson on vocals, and two amazing guitar solos by Mick Rogers.

Personnel:

Manfred Mann - keyboards

Mick Rogers - lead guitar and vocals

John Trotter - drums

Steve Kinch - bass and backing vocals

Noel McCalla - lead vocals

Chris Thompson - guitar and vocals

A very soulful & stirring cover, even humming like Paul did!
Billie’s vibrato is sublime!

Although many entertainers (Bobby Darin, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, to name a few) covered Steve Allen's (Tonight Show fame) song, This Could Be The Start of Something Big. Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme 's cover from the early 1960's was an huge hit on 45 RPM. Backed by a band of outstanding musicians and their excellent vocals, makes you feel like your in Vegas listening and watching the show.
