Same song different artist. Which ones do you love? LP


I just love hearing songs by different artist, that I already love and the different renditions that they offer. To get this started here are a few of mine. Baby Blue by, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Badfinger(love the fact that the Breaking Bad series ended with this one). I Put A Spell On You by, Screaming Jay Hawkins, CCR, Annie Lennox, Van Morrison and Marilyn Manson. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by, The Animals, Elvis Costello Ronnie Spector. OK your turn.

Another song w innumerable covers:
Martin Gaye's "People Get Ready" 
My favorite cover is the acapella version by The Persuasions.  Another great cover by Eva Cassidy. 
Antje Duvekot's covers of "Mercedes Benz" & "Fat -Bottom Girls" (right up there w Martykl's nomination for most unlikely cover).
+1 for Zevon's cover of "Knockin' on Heavens Door". 
How about the many covers of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" & "I Shall Be Released", John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery", John Fogerty's "Lodi", Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time".
Another favorite cover of mine is Emmy Lou Harris singing Stephan Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More".
