Underrated cover song...
- Thread starter psuro
- Start date
Joan Osborne doing a Motown classic.
Have you ever heard the original? I haven't. It was written by a woman named Anne Bredon, while she was an undergrad at Berkeley in the 50s. Zep was aware of Joan Baez' version (she did not know the source and listed it as Traditional), not the original and did not credit it to Anne Bredon until 1991. Zep's arrangement is brilliant. Here is an early version (1964) by the folk singer Barbara Muller:

She hit this one out of the park. I go to youtube every now and then to take a listen. Great performance.
probably THE best use of music and images on a TV show in the last 20 years. Jeez, still makes me cry . . .
Nice contributions ITT. I humbly submit the greatest cover ever IMO. Simply amazing.
Fred Durst and Johnny Rzeznik's cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"
tribute to the heroes of 9/11

I'm aware of these guys. I was going to post their version of Neil Young's "Old Man." They are something else.
These guys were bring in the shekels from the mid 50s to mid 80's in Schuylkill County and surrounding counties playing at local dance venues (today the money is in concerts) o weekends.
I'm not much of a hip-hop guy, but this was well done
This one surprised me

If you haven't seen or heard Tom Jones do this song - i suggest you do so and discover how it should be done... you'd roll your eyes at the Black Crowes overated amateur-hour version
Love this cover of Marley's "Redemption Song". Irks me that it's from one of those TV song competitions, but what the heck.
Yep, I'm subscribed to Mike Masse, amazing musician. His Radiohead and Grateful Dead covers are my favorites. Super talented guy who regularly outperforms the big name artists.
Any other Playing for Change fans in the house?

Just heard this cover for the first time last night - and have listened to it several times since. Only as Robert Smith can do.
To me one of the great songs...so well written. Hate to say it but I like the John Cale version, from the movie Shrek. I like his earthier voice.
Little Feat's 'On Your Way Down' is a cover (written by the late, great Allen Toussaint).
And then you follow Little Feat to Robert Palmer with his cover/original/cover with 'Sailin Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneakin Sally Through the Alley.'
(Sneakin Sally Through the Alley is Allen Toussaint again!)
