Famous songs that were covers.

[old blue]

"Blanket on the ground" Billie Jo Spears. A good cover.

Beth Gibbons is a voice you need to be very confident to try and cover, but Lisa does Portishead justice.

Simon is a genius really.
Such a simple song about Art G (Tom) flying out for an audition for a movie that he was panicking over.

Absolutely.

Tom and Jerry!

Absolutely love both versions of this great song. The harmonies on the two songs are fantastic.

I won’t clog Bill’s thread with my taste, but if you like harmony, listen to Undertow by Lisa Hannigan with Loah. I think it’s at Palmerstown House.
Better still if you like first reaction videos, there’s a guy/musician on YouTube who practically creams his cacks dissecting why this is special.
I found it entertaining in itself;
Michael Palmisano.

Which is the original ?

Bowie

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Anna(Go to him) which is one of my favourite Beatles songs, was written and first recorded by soul singer Arther Alexander.

Wow! Just watched it. Their voices are angelic. I absolutely love great singing and am amazed how some singers use their voices. I’ll be checking out some. Thanks for the heads up.

Love the original version.

I'd never heard it until a year or two ago, but it is a belter.
