bobby vinton's 1972 cover of "sealed with a kiss." johnny desmond's version of "speak low" and "long ago and far away." kd lang's cover of "rose garden." chuck berry's version of "my dingaling." ELO's version of "roll over beethoven." mitch ryder's cover of "devil w/a blue dress on/good golly miss molly."
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?
