Another hopefully not a dupe: I like both the Stones original and Grand Funk's cover. Don't care much for The Sisters Of Mercy's cover - but The Sisters Of Mercy do some other stuff I really like (like More), so it ended up in my collection. There's other covers too, but these are ones I have.

Back in'68 I was at a New Years Party and there was a girl there who was having a bummer. Then this song (the cover) came on the radio and I lip-sync'd the song to her. After it was over it brought a smile to her face and we became the best of friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnDm3qr1Knk"]YouTube - The four tops - Reach out i´ll be there cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjFT0eVQmTo"]YouTube - Reach Out - Merrilee Rush PAX
This morning when I was listening to the radio and I heard an interesting fact. The song Yesterday by the Beatles is the most covered song of all time. Over 3000 recordings of the song have been released since its conception. I am only going to post 3 covers- as 3000 would be a bit too much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Wg5nwOs9E"]YouTube - The Beatles - Yesterday (1966) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRdJQRIEslQ"]YouTube - Shirley Bassey - Yesterday (The Beatles Cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC1QG-tzhNM"]YouTube - Yesterday - sung by Eva Cassidy - imagery by Helen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LVKGNEPnOE&feature=related"]YouTube - Marvin Gaye Yesterday PAX
