Following on from the Johnny Cash thread, what cover versions blow you away?
'The first time ever I saw your face'....George Michael (although I hate to admit this but it's a flawless version)
'Walk on by'....Isaac Hayes
'How can you mend a broken heart?'....Al Green
'Never can say goodbye'....Isaac Hayes |

Ive no idea who its by but some reasonably modern band covered a Beatles track at the start of Cruel Intentions (the scene was in a passenger jet).
Music is not my specialist subject....... |

Alicia Keys version of Wild horses is good too
(I may have been slated if I said Susan Boyles was good) |
