[Bigboote]

And another:

 

[Jackcatscal]

Wooden Ships - The Airplane's version of the CS&N classic song:

The creaking sound at the beginning of the song was David Crosby's sailboat, which I believe was moored in Santa Barbara, CA at the time.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Patti Smith covering Dylan's "Changing of the Guards."

They shaved her head
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo

 

[Jackcatscal]

Beth Hart bringing chills down your spine.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Miley covering Melanie.

 

[MSGRET]

Voodoo Child feat. Sina, cover of Led Zeppelin's "Staiway to Heaven", enjoy.

 

[Bigboote]

This is my favorite version of the Howlin' Wolf classic. It also shows that the Doors were SO much more than Jim Morrison. The drums, guitar, and keys/bass are just amazing.

 

[PoppaBear]

John Brim original released in 1969. Recorded in the 50's, however.

 

[PoppaBear]

 

[GoUconn7961]

Almost better than the original

[Ozimoto]

Linda Ronstadt covering "Just One Look" made famous by Doris Troy.

 

[Ozimoto]

She also covered a pretty good song by the Hollies, although it might not be considered a classic. Linda covered a lot of songs...

 

[Jackcatscal]

Jazz great Mary Lou Williams with a swing version of a fabled Gershwin tune.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Bessie Smith covering a classic W.C. Handy tune.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Cole Porter covered beautifully.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Angelic Alison singing "When the Levee Breaks."

 

[meyers7]

Not a "real" band, but most of them did actually play instruments. And Andrew Strong's voice. wow. Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally".
The Commitments

 

[meyers7]

Though not necessarily a classic of Bruce's, Manfred made it their classic. (and it was "revved up like a deuce")

Springsteen's "Blinded By the Light"

Manfred Mann's Earth Band (the longer version)

 

[darkstar1]

Joe Coker and Leon Russell covering The Letter by the Bix Tops.

"Chilling and darkly humorous." I wonder about posting this but it's strange and quite unique. Have a look. It's only about a minute and a half long.
