That Yes cover of Roundabout that @Chickentoast put up is off the hook. Some talented people right there.
Plenty of times, a song comes out and even has some popularity. When this song came out, I couldn't really get into it. Then I saw this cover and the song clicked for me, for some reason. After liking this cover, I began to like the original.
Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven with the Wilson sisters and an All Star Band including the original drummer's son. The reactions of Page and Plant are excellent. The first 2 minutes are mostly just the Wilson sisiters, then they keep adding musicians and singers. Warning for those are may be triggered, a few snippets of some anti-gunners shown.
I'm prejudiced about this song. I saw The Ike and Tina Turner Revue do this live in 1971 or 1972 at the University of Missouri. The warmup band was Linda Ronstadt. Ike and tina were from St. Louis and their equipment truck broke down making their performance a little late, he came out on the stage and apologized and said they would make it up to us, and man they did. This is the PG Version of Proud Mary. Tina gave the more R Rated version. For the guitar players you may notice Ike broke his high E string and changed it on stage while singing, but had it redy for the guitar solo.
One of my favorite covers.
Also surprised there's no Puddles links yet. Well, maybe not suprised but dudes voice is second to no one.

I agree. He can be a bit of a creep. I think my point was too subtle. My bad. His take is off pitch in most places and like the movie "Liar, Liar," he is overacting. But it was a very punk feel and that helped me understand the original artist approach and like that song when I did not like it before.
On the converse, I, like most people, first heard "Broken Hallelujah" in the Jeff Buckley cover. Then I heard the original recording from Leonard Cohen. That was horrible. And so, it confirmed that the cover was better than the original, in that case. Like most any song written by Bob Dylan.
I first found him on post modern jukebox. I don't get the clown thing at all, but the guys voice is fantastic.
