I will second Joe Cocker. Pick up the CD 'Night Calls' and listen to his version of 'Can't Find My Way Home' and 'You got to Hide Your Love Away' simply beautiful.
What's your favorite remake of a song
I know most remakes fall short of the original, but I suspect that it's usually due to the fact that the original was known and popular. The remake usually pales by comparison, but I've heard a few things lately that I really liked, and wondered what others have enjoyed...
