So far we are on the same wave length. First two songs that came into my mind were RESPECT and Me and Bobby McGEE. I'm luv'in it!
Oops! Different wave length for Gipsy Kings - Hotel California.

Here is the Eagles one ..

This cover of Tommy James and the Shondells is in no way an improvement, but it was a big hit for Tiffany. If anyone remembers her...

Joan Jett covered another Tommy James song. Her version of Crimson and Clover is pretty good.

Cannot belief Allie is only 18 years old now. She does have great talent.

That's just flat out good.

Here's another one by Miley. Covering "Sweet Jane" by the Velvet Underground (Lou Reed). Cowboy Junkies did a cover also, but I like Miley's.

 

[TB12]

That's just flat out good.

Thanks.. I love them.. lots more on YouTube

 

[meyers7]

Ziggy Marley and John Popper/Blues Traveler cover Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry". Song writing credit was given to a Vincent Ford who ran a soup kitchen. It's believed Bob did write it, but basically gave the the song royalties to run the soup kitchen.

 

[Frodo]

Eric Reed's jazz cover of Chopin Prelude in E Minor

 

[meyers7]

Another Velvet Underground cover. This time The Black Crowes cover "Sweet Nuthin'". Chris lets Rich sing on this one. Good choice. My Morning Jacket does a nice cover also. (actually quite a few covers of this out there)

 

[McFly]

 

[meyers7]

Post Modern Jukebox does some great covers, change-ups. This is Guns-n-Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine". With Ms Miche Braden doing the honors.

 

[MSGRET]

Dolly Parton's goddaughter's version of Jolene.

 

[meyers7]

Ok, definitely not a classic song, though in parts of the world kinda popular a while back. Was/is a US band, Scissor Sister and their song "Take Your Mama Out Tonight". This is covered by a Danish blues showband, Thorbjorn Risager & The Black Tornado.
Anyway, I like them and they have some good blues tunes of their own out there.

Perhaps the poster was thinking of the song Cover Me from the album

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.

 

[meyers7]

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.

Barracuda

 

[EasyEd]

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".
