Nice. Hendrix is underappreciated as a songwriter, generally speaking. _________________ Silly, stupid white people might be waking up.

Another one most people don't realize is a cover <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YK3ZP6frAMc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK3ZP6frAMc The original from 1968 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vL2TYoBYsnY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL2TYoBYsnY _________________ The power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect

Best new cover I heard this year was Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer doing Dylan's "Not Dark Yet" <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wHYGVX6L9DE" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> _________________ The power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect

I thought this song was unsalvageable, but John Prine somehow makes it work <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jylCc-fD-wo" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jylCc-fD-wo _________________ The power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect

With the recent passing of Dick Dale, it's worth noting that his best known song, Misirlou, is a cover <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mKpsuGMeqHI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKpsuGMeqHI The earliest recording is from 1927, from a Greek artist named Theodotos <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LW6qGy3RtwY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW6qGy3RtwY _________________ The power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect

Knew he didn’t write it but thanks for coming up with that one, pilight.

Beyoncé's Homecoming is a fascinating record. Especially notable is a cover of "Before I Let Go", one the best and best known songs by Maze and Frankie Beverly. The original wasn't a huge hit on initial release, but it has lasted better than a lot of the songs that were bigger at the time (when was the last time you heard Roger Troutman's version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine"?) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gVLsVj7BebE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVLsVj7BebE <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W5WTjqZuL_c" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5WTjqZuL_c _________________ The power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect

Found Harry Nilsson's Everybody's Talkin' posted by pilight on page 6 of this thread. My favorite all-time song. Playing (guitar or ukulele) AND singing this one aint easy -- something about that timing with the chord changes.

Whitney Houston recorded a cover of Higher Love in 1990. It was included on international releases of her third album <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BZibUKPr9OU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZibUKPr9OU The original was a #1 hit for Steve Winwood in 1986 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5bcSoHoJh0c" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bcSoHoJh0c _________________ The power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect

Not nearly as cool as pilight's contributions, but listening to some Anderson .Paak just earlier reminded me that one of my favourite Xscape songs is a Jones Girls cover <iframe width="400" height="230" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p1p8OdHz94Q" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Is there a song that a music artist did a re-make of that you feel did the original version justice?

There is a website "SecondHandSongs.com" that has an exhaustive number of covers of hundreds of songs. There was a Broadway play with the song "Lazy Afternoon", I don't like the original, but I like Sheila Jordans cover, and Nina Simone's cover even better.

My favorite recent cover was by Adrienne Bailon during "The Masked Singer" this past season. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oYy8UetFJ_E" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qLw6iQ2WHk You're likely unfamiliar with Hendrix' "Wait Until Tomorrow" on the Axis: Bold As Love LP. This cover of the guitar part is the best note-for-note homage I've ever heard. Also, the iso of the guitar part really exposes the astonishing fluidiity, breadth, and depth of Jimi's style, imo. _________________ Silly, stupid white people might be waking up.
