Greatest Cover Songs
 

Thought this would be fun.

I didn't see a thread like this here.

Always on the prowl to find awesome/cool
cover songs/who does it better
of my favorite music/artists!

Must be a cover. :)

Here goes a fav of mine!

Sarah Vaughan - Shadow of Your Smile
 

Great thread idea, Kane!

<3 I am loving this.

The Dramatics - Me and Mrs Jones (original by Billy Paul)
 

Drift Away- Uncle Kracker (original by Dobie Gray)

Say Something
 

St. Paul and the Broken Bones - "Try A Little Tenderness" (Otis Redding cover)
 

Although originally sung by Ruth Etting and Bing Crosby (I think), Otis Redding probably had the most well-known version.

Don't Let Me Down, Keith Urban and John Mayer
 

Leningrad Cowboys' cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"

Very closely tied with Guns n' Roses:



This will sound like heresy to some, but I never thought Bob Dylan's original captured the "soul" of the song.

Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold
 

Aretha - Respect (originally sung by Sam Cooke)
 

Aretha - Respect (orginally sang by Otis Redding—My bad)
 

Otis Redding sang this—not Sam Cooke.

I had no idea Jack Black had such a
really decent voice actually, even though this is a bit humorous LOL

One of my favorite covers of this song
which is called "Youth" originally done by Daughter.

Thank You & Enjoy the Silence
 

Sorry to bust in ... but why the heck can't I post a Youtube video? I've tried the little buttons and putting the link in ... I read through the tech help area - all that comes up is a link. ??

Choose "go advanced" when you reply, then make sure that in between the YouTube tags you only put what comes directly after the equal sign in your link...hope this helps!

Sort of a cover. I find this very moving.

Cash covers U2
 

Annie Lennox
 

Good one, one of my favorite songs. Always liked this cover too:

Aretha - I Say A Little Prayer (Originally by Dionne Warwick)
 

This is one of my all-time favorite covers. From the opening note to the ending note i think it''s just great. Aretha is sweet, sexy, and soulful. Love it!

Speaking of Bob Dylan covers nobody does it better

It's like peanuts, once you start it's hard to stop.
