GOOD COVERS OF ORIGINAL SONGS

[larbert toffee]

Just as an antidote to the 'Appalling covers thread' here's my two starters, first of all @mellowblue, got to disagree, Nazareth in their heyday were one of my favourite band's and taking nothing away from the original, I thought their version of 'This flight tonight' was boss.


Secondly, although I think the original by Procol Harum is an all time classic I thought Annie Lennox's version of 'A whiter shade of pale' was superb.

For those of us young enough, old enough, sad enough, mad enough...

A CSN classic covered by Brandi Carlile. A beautiful song sung well.

And for something funkier..Santana covering The Zombies "She's Not There"

 

[Ashtonian]

When you consider the video and it was his last song before he died. Fantastic cover
