Maybe, but.....Cover isn't even a cover. Although I it almost was. I've read it was originally written for Donna Summer, but they thought it was too good to give away.

Gretchen Wilson, who's not even related to Ann or Nancy (and is a country artist ), along with Alice In Chains, pulled this off. Guess if you got the Heart, you can do it.

Originally release by the Top Notes and later by the Isley Brothers and perfected by this cover by the Beatles which was an iconic moment in the Ferris Buhler's Day Off movie:

Yes, thank you.
1. I like the cover of this album
2. I like the song "Cover Me".

I loved this version, Nancy is also in the video playing the guitar.

Tom "Lucifer" Ellis doing a Radiohead cover

There are quite a few that have covered "Creep" and done it well, all with their own style. PMJ comes to mind...
As a fan challenge/request Paulina took 4 hours to learn this song then recorded it on her iPhone.

Here's one more Hendrix song, this time from stoner/doom metal band All Them Witches doing a killer cover of Voodo Chile.

Ataris covers "Boys of Summer". Packs a little more punch than the original. Lyrics by Don Henley, but Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers wrote the music. Brought it to Tom first, but Tom didn't think it fit them. Producer Jimmy Iovine suggested Henley.

Mike Campbell now with Fleetwood Mac, and he played lead on that song for Henley. One of my all-time favorites. I noticed the Ataris changed some lyrics. Not a Deadhead sticker.

 

[McFly]

Must be a classic, given the number and diversity of performers who've covered it. Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astair, Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich, José Feliciano, to name a few.

"Summer Wine" is a song written by Lee Hazlewood. It was originally sung by Suzi Jane Hokom and Lee Hazlewood in 1966, but it was made famous by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood in 1967.
