OT: Songs that are covers of another artist

For when it gets really cold. You know, a 3 dog night. (not the Black Crowes, just Chris)

Never Been To Spain - Chris Robinson Brotherhood

 
Not sure who wrote this. Recorded and published back in '39/'40 by Jimmy Davis/Charles Mitchell and also Pine Ridge Boys

Anyway The Dead South did it a few years ago as the sad song it actually is.

You Are My Sunshine - The Dead South

 
Counting Crows cover of a Joni Mitchell song. I hate her version, but I love this one.
 
Another Counting Crows cover, this time of a Warren Zevon song. I heard this one on Imus back when he was on the radio. Never heard the original.
 
Really good job by these...I guess a bunch of old guys playing around. (but then I guess the Stones are a bunch of old guys now too, actually , these guys are probably younger :eek:)

Midnight Rambler - Besso and Co

 
Blue Moon was first recorded in 1935, and then it became a hit twice in 1949 when Billy Eckstine and Mel Tormé each struck gold. Elvis had covered it in 1954, but it stalled at #55 on the Hot 100. It was in 1961, though, when the Pittsburgh doo-wop group made it eternal. It went #1 in the States, UK, New Zealand and Canada.
 
"At Last" was originally written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the film Sun Valley Serenade, but they didn’t add in vocals until it was recorded by John Payne and Lynn Bari.
 
“Unchained Melody” is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. It was the theme music for the 1955 film Unchained. Todd Duncan sang the vocals on the soundtrack and, ever since, it’s endured as one of the most covered songs ever—as folks like Elvis Presley, George Benson, U2, Cyndi Lauper and Orville Peck have tried their hand at. But none even approximate Bobby Hatfield's version. Ilke like this live performance best. It shows Hatfield's vocal mastery. No electronics! Just pure talent!
 
In 1968, Mark James wrote and recorded “Suspicious Minds” and it was a massive commercial failure. A year later, a guy named Elvis Presley picked the song up and transformed it into one of the greatest soul-pop productions in rock ‘n’ roll history.
 
“I Can’t Stop Loving You” was initially written and recorded by Don Gibson in 1957, but it was turned into a country soul pillar by Ray Charles in 1962. The Georgia pianist had decided to make a pivot from R&B to the country tracks he’d grown up on, and Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music is one of the greatest albums of the decade.
 
I’ll be here in the Morning- Hayley Jane

She is one my favorite local musicians who puts on a great show either by herself or with her band.
