Same song different artist. Which ones do you love? LP

I just love hearing songs by different artist, that I already love and the different renditions that they offer. To get this started here are a few of mine. Baby Blue by, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Badfinger(love the fact that the Breaking Bad series ended with this one). I Put A Spell On You by, Screaming Jay Hawkins, CCR, Annie Lennox, Van Morrison and Marilyn Manson. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by, The Animals, Elvis Costello Ronnie Spector. OK your turn.

Here are a couple of covers that I really enjoy. Both are on the same album too.....

From Brain Auger's Oblivion Express album - "Compared to What" and "Inner City Blues".

"Compared to What" is a Les McCann song, first recorded by McCann and later by Roberta Flack. The Brian Auger version takes the original jazz version into Jazz/Rock fusion territory.

Of course "Inner City Blues" is a Marvin Gaye song off of the incredible album "What's Going On". Auger takes the original R&B tune again in to Jazz/Rock fusion territory.

I've had the Brain Auger record since sometime in the '70s and I still enjoy it regularly.

Off of Mick Jagger "Wandering Spirit" lp , probably my favorite tune here is "Evening Gown". Alejandro Escovedo does it justice, maybe better!

"Little Wing" - Stevie Ray Vaughan - One of my favorite covers

Also (and a little embarrassed to admit) I *really* like The Scorpion's rendition of "Can't Explain"
