Original songs but the cover version is the better known one.

[IanM]

Stairway to heaven

I remember when I first saw that....just blew me away.... even "the boys" loved it.

 

[IanM]

Skip over the nonsense till she starts singing maybe not better known, (and was sent to me as it isnt a programme I watch ) but crikey...very good!

To take something that iconic, in front of its remaining creators, and get the response it did from the professional musicians in the audience and the band members themselves is absolutely amazing. I never tire of watching it.

 

[Orikoru]

Wow you're making me feel old ?
Well known to us old gits...

It's not that the original isn't known, it's just that Celine is more of a household name, so if you asked a hundred people who sang Power of Love, probably more of them would say Celine.

 

[Hobbit]

A song sung by many different artists down the years. I've picked my two fav renditions. The first is just beautiful, the second one being just a little different but it does show how we can all come together. Its starts a little karaoke but does improve.

 

[Hacker Khan]

Original

Better known but I'd argue inferior cover.

No, a third would say Huey Lewis and the News and another third would say Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The Jennifer Rush song is by far the worst song called The Power of Love.

 

[Hacker Khan]

Original. Fantastic.

More well known cover. Still fantastic. Close call.

That is a bare-faced lie! J.Rush song is the best of those three, followed by Huey Lewis, followed by Frankie.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Cover aberration;

The glorious original cover;

I'd pay to hear that woman read the telephone directory.

Then of course there are versions that are best forgotten

Rod Stewart is, for me, the best 'interpreter' of songs by other folk! Here's another cracker!

I do like Rod but he does not always improve on the original. Exhibit 1 your honour

Original. Classic.

Rod Cover. Not so good.

 

[Hacker Khan]

Exhibit 2.

Original. Superb

Rod Cover. mmmmmm

And you can throw in a poor Annie Lennox cover as well. Moral of the story, don't cover The Blue Nile as it won't be as good.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Jerry and the pacemakers version of you'll never walk alone has to be the best known . The original being in the musical carousel
