Cover versions

Superb new cover of Purple's 'When a Blind Man Cries' by Metallica, can't stop listening to it, just leapt to the top of my favourite covers list

Anyone else got a favourite cover version?

Claudette by the Everly Brothers. Much better than the original by Roy Orbison, IMO.

Billy Paul covering Elton John's Your Song. Original B side of Me and Mrs Jones. Excellent.

Also, Billy Paul's Let em in. was a good cover.

I like cover versions that change a song significantly. This is a good example
