Last night, during the Monarchs game, I was talking in the KingsFans chat room about my favorite cover songs, and as I listed some of them, I realized that, while I don't generally care for covers and remakes as a rule, among the ones I *do* like, many of them I prefer to the original song. So, I thought I'd list the cover songs that I like better than the original, and ask if any of you have some as well...
My top ten, in no particular order:
Boyz II Men, of The Beatles' "Yesterday"
Johnny Cash, of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt"
Caron Wheeler, of Stevie Wonder's "Another Star"
Santa Esmeralda, of The Animals' "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"
Sergio Mendes & the Black Eyed Peas, of Jorge Ben's "Mas Que Nada"
Boyz II Men, of New Edition's "Can You Stand the Rain"
Boyz II Men, of Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love"
Mary J. Blige, of Rose Royce's "I'm Going Down"
Soul IV Real, of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine"
Ray Charles, of Hoagy Charmichael's "Georgia on my Mind"
