I'm partial to the original of this song but I think it has to be one of the most covered songs out there, these were just a few there are so many more.
and then there is this version...
and then there is this version...
This time, the original singer of a familiar song which most people probably wouldn't have heard of.
I do like the version of the song. However, The Sex Pistols had nothing to do with it.
The song was made for dramatic effect and symbolism in the movie Sid and Nancy. Or did Gary Oldman Take Sids place?
Gordon Lightfoots Sundown by Elwood
(not the video for it but the best audio recording I could find on Youtube)
the funny thing here is that Pat Boone is(was) Alice Coopers next door neighbor, so you can see where he got the inspiration hehe
That reminds me of when Pat Boone did his album In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy, he did all these metal covers in his own style.
Crazy Train
Here's a good site to investigate who did a song originally or who has covered it.

Finding the original is an obsession with me, I have tons of tunes that I've collected over the years.
Speaking of "The Air That I Breathe", I also like Phil Everly's version that predates the Hollies by a few years.
I really like Nina Simone's version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", she did it a year before the Animals had a hit with it, She also did "House Of The Rising Sun" before them, you can tell how she influenced them a great deal.

Wow. I thought I was the only one that had heard of Eva Cassidy . She was an incredible talent and, of course, died way too young. The duet album with Chuck Brown was a masterpiece.
