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.

The first song mentioned by the OP, "Baby Blue," is actually two different songs with the same title.  The Badfinger song is the not Dylan song.  FWIW I love the 13th Floor Elevators' cover of the Dylan tune on their "Easter Everywhere" LP.

tooblue, I beg to differ--this

and this

are two totally different songs.  Different melodies and different lyrics.  Van Morrison's cover is the Dylan song.  I don't think the Badfinger song existed yet at the time he covered it.
