Joss Stone covering John Ellison’s Some Kind of Wonderful on her debut album title Soul Sessions. Song was made famous by Grand Funk Railroad. She is hot, hot, hot.

There are quite a few covers to chose from so I’ll go with the most recent one I put of my playlist.

But Grand Funk Railroad's version was also a cover.

It was originally written by John Ellison and recorded by Soul Brothers Six.

Read my post where I credited Mr. Ellison. You are also correct.

Turn,Turn, Turn - Byrds

But I love this one too.

I've heard this song many, many times but this is the first time I've seen the video. It is even MORE haunting with the video. It is fantastic!

I like the Johnny Cash version, but I think I'm one of the few people who think the Nine Inch Nails version is superior. Just has more feeling behind it IMO.

 

[TJ8869]

The correct answer is Jimi's cover of "All Along the Watchtower", but I also like Arcade Fire's cover of The Clash's "Guns of Brixton".

I would do filthy things with 1987 Susanna Hoffs.

Cash was actually DYING when he recorded that, and presumably hurting really bad. How does it not have enough feeling?

 

[wwg1wga]

Tbc did some pretty tight covers.

CR''s voice sounds great. taj mahal Chevrolet.

Well for one, presumably the song is about heroin addiction. Cash does not pull that off. I've always like the NIN version better but with the clips in the cash video it makes it more relative imo.

How do you know Cash wasn't addicted to pain killers at that point in his life?

Wasnt Cash addicted to heroin in his earlier yrs?

Wasnt Cash addicted to heroin in his earlier yrs?

I think it was prescription drugs but I'm far from an expert.

 

[ConvenientParking]

For my money, the recorded version here is in the category of "better than the original."
