Though they will never be as good as the original versions (at least for the most part)...what are your fav. cover tunes???

1-NOTHING COMPARES 2 U-Sinead O Connor
So damn good...in my opinion...much better than the Family orig...

2-SWEET JANE-Cowboy Junkies
Margo Timmins vocal is amazing...the song still stands the times!

3-SOLITARE-Sheryl Crow
'90's Carpenters remake...very moving...before Sheryl started to remake/duet on everything!

4-THE WEAKNESS IN ME-Melissa Etheridge
Great homage to Joan A...captures much emotion...

5-CHINA GIRL-Pete Yorn
Favorite '80's Bowie song by my current fav. artist!

so much more...so little time!

Aretha's versions of the following: "Respect", "The Weight", "Somewhere", "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)", "Spanish Harlem"; by Otis Redding, The Band, Bernstein/Sondheim, Stevie Wonder, and Ben E. King respectively...just about any cover she did up until the mid 70s.
