MilkyJoe Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Bear with me here, it's worth it I promise. This is Ella Fitzgerald live in Berlin in 1960 covering How High The Moon. Performing her scat solo she never misses a single beat throughout. Jazz isn't everyones cup of tea. Hell it's not even mine but this is worth 7 mins of anybody's time. Stunning! Shaun.

I like Bowie's Let's Spend the Night Together though. Santana's she's not there is decent. Ah I love it. If you want a horrendous Bowie cover, nothing beats God Only Knows.

I'm guessing Madonna's American Pie won't be on this list either! Sincere apologies for reminding people of the above 'songs' I'll get me coat... Come on nothing is worse than Newton Faulkner's teardrop cover. That one example is nearly enough to ban all cover versions forever more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodiles Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Got to give a mention in this to this mortal coil song to the siren. An epic cover but an epic original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsounding Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Maybe not THE best cover of all time but this makes me immensely happy, that's what covers are about right? And my two cents; I loved it when the white stripes didn't change jolene pronouns, gay = awesome plus obviously it would ruin such a magnificent song but that goes without saying, I'm super appreciative about same sex songs, cos there ain't enough of em!
