what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?
@richopp, I also like Linda Ronstadt's version of "Tracks of my Tears" better than Smokey Robinson's. @dekay, love that version of "Smoke on the Water" that you sent. Really cool! Here's are few covers that come to my mind:
