The Cover Is Better Than The Original Version

This one is close, as the instrumentation on Bob's version is delightful. But Norah's voice raises the song to another level, and the piano flourishes add a nice accent.

Song: I'll Be Your Baby Tonight



Original Artist: Bob Dylan






Cover Artist: Norah Jones

 
Song: Easy To Be Hard

Plus, she might be better looking. :wave:
 
Song: Jet Airliner



Original Artist: Paul Pena






Cover Artist: The Steve Miller Band






I always thought this was a Steve Miller original.

But sometimes what you think you know, and have known for a long time, is wrong.

Song: So Long, Farewell
Note: The cover is NSFW!



Original Artist: Von Trapp Children from The Sound Of Music movie






Cover Artist: Riki Lindhome

 
Song: Take Me To The River

Original Artist: Al Green





Cover Artist: Talking Heads






I love the Al Green version with the horn line, but Tina Weymouth's bass takes the song to another level.
 
Song: I'm A Man



Original Artist: Spencer Davis Group





Cover Artist: Chicago





The original is soooo good, it's hard to believe a cover could be better. But I think the Chicago version edges out the original by an RCH.
