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?

            Ok, this isn't a great cover, however, I couldn't resist the pairing of the two singers.

             

            "Spinning Wheel" - original by Blood Sweat & Tears

             

            Most unlikely pairing :

             

              Gene Simmons and Englebert Humperdink - singing cover of  "Spinning Wheel"

              Unlikely suspects, for sure! It’s amazing, how well they harmonize. I didn’t know EH was still recording.

                @MaVolta , that was recorded in 2014. I think today EH is 85 or 86.

                      https://youtu.be/CwED4C5FJuo

                       

                      NW does a great job on this classic rock masterpiece, love how they picked up the Celtic vibe in their cover. 

                       

                      Now here’s the original … RIP Gary

                                Roger kills it with his raw and raunchy blues vocals.

                                Garnett Mimms, Classic 60’s uptempo R&B


                                Both are great!
