We all know Joe Cocker's version of "Feelin' Alright". Awesome song.
Written and recorded by Traffic. All good stuff.
But how many have heard this version by Grand Funk Railroad? Love it!

It's a great version, although I don't know if it is better than the original.
I like each of them for different reasons so which I prefer depends on my mood.
One of my favourite songs of the 80's. I had no idea until a few years ago that it was a cover.
The cover
The original by a big star at the time and so different in style

Johnny Kidd's version kicked ass. What I don't get about the album cover is who is the Elvis look alike second in from the left? The Pirates were alwas a three-piece back-up band. I saw them in the UK around 1964. One of the best bands ever. Tighter than a spinster's knees.
Oh. Now I get it. Two pictures of the same guy. Left and right. Johnny Spence on bass.

One of my fave songs of all time redone "Take on Me" by A-ha redone by The Viking on the Masked Singer UK
If you like, the intro can be ignored, skip to 1:30
The big surprise ..... It was Morten Harket, lead singer of A-ha. He slowed it down and basically kept the falsetto out. None of the judges had a clue
Figured I'd add the original

Gord Lightfoots cover of Me and Bobby McGee originally written and sung by Kris Kristofferson, worst cover of this song and any other cover of any song was by Janis Joplin.
“School Of Rock” covered Rebel Rebel a couple years ago with a female singer. All teenage band done in a recording studio. Google it. Really good.
