And my final entry for today- A tranquility inducing twist on a classic originally sung by the late great Judy Garland, who would've turned 91 yesterday.

Yes- I enjoy that one, and KD Lang's too, but Buckley's is just so... haunting.
Yeah, it's true. I was really into Tim in the 60s, but never got into Jeff the same way. Both gone before I knew it.

I was watching a Western last night (The Quick and the Dead) and for some reason it made me think of this video...
Such a beautiful song by the band Love, and The Damned really do it justice!!
(R.I.P. Bryan and Arthur)

"David Bowie's cover of Jacques Brel's song "My Death" at his last gig as Ziggy Stardust in 1973."
(Bowie never recorded a studio version of this... he only plays it 'Live')
This song goes out to my dear, sweet Michael... R.I.P.

This song is hard to say who the 'original' version was by, since it is based on the old spiritual, "Motherless Child"... but Richie Havens definitely made it his own, and it became known as "Freedom".
Sadly, we just lost him a couple of months ago, but this is his performance at the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock:
I had the pleasure of seeing him that same year on the Santa Monica Pier, with Janis Ian opening.
He played for about 3 hrs. and it was just magical... R.I.P. Richie

JJ, you do know these are supposed to be cover songs? By the way, your last link doesn't seem to work.
Even though it should be evident from what most of the other people have been posting, maybe we should clarify things for the benefit of all:
A Cover Song is one that has been "Covered" (ie: recorded and/or performed) by somebody other than the Artist who originally wrote it, and NOT the one that is on the cover of the album... which is normally called the "Title Track"...
Hey, that might be a good idea for another contest... Title Tracks!!
It would make it pretty hard, since not every album has one...
