Great cover versions

I never cared for the Presidents of whatever version so here's the original

Ian Hunter - Cleveland Rocks (1979)

I've always liked the original as well, but this cover is fairly uncommon-



I enjoy hearing either version but The Who's original is almost the only one played

Another of my favorites from The Supremes that was also left in the vaults. It was supposed to be on an album that was shelved called "Promises Kept" (1971). It's also only on the 70s Anthology which I have in my collection. Jean Terrell had some big shoes to fill after Diana Ross went solo.

Never Can Say Goodbye - The Supremes - 1971




Oh, I never can say goodbye
No, I never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartaches
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Thought I tried and tried to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always had to say no
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so?

No, I never can say goodbye
Oh oh, never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
And start headed for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, "turn around, you fool
You know you love him more and more and more and more
(Tell me why) is it so?
I can't let you go

Never can say goodbye
I just can't let you go
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, oh baby
Never can say goodbye
I just can't say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye) ooh

Never can say goodbye
No, no, no I
Never can say goodbye

I know all our problems
Sooner all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang-up
Can't live with him, can't live without
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so?
Don't wanna let you go

I never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye, no no no
No no no, no-no-no, oh baby
I never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye

I have a wonderful soulful remake of an old song recorded by Etta James. I could only find lyrics from her version. There could be differences in the way this cover was done.

Sunday Kind Of Love - Honey & The Bees - 1969




I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea
I want a a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to no where
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do my Sunday dreaming, oh yea
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
Oh I'm hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold
Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea yea
I don't want a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, Friday or Saturday
Oh nothing but Sunday oh yea
I want a Sunday Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday kind of love

^ Nice cover never heard before, bug. Thank you.

Stuck on this classic again today, so beautiful and written by Ewan MacColl. Sung by so many, so posting two versions, one here and one in Songs that make you cry, Both are covers.

Another great cover of Light My Fire. Sounds more like a Bond theme.

Light My Fire - Dame Shirley Bassey - 1970
