Covers that are better than the original

[El Kabong]

Elvis' version of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' also wipes the floor with Simon & Garfunkle's original whiny sounding version.

Say what you will about the guy but Elvis could belt out some songs!

For sure his 70's voice was really great. It had matured and his range had really developed. Good singer.

Great singer! Great performer! I rank Elvis, Sinatra (the entire Rat Pack), and James Brown as probably the greatest performers ever...yes ahead of Michael Jackson and The Beatles and no I'm not slighting them by putting those guys ahead


George Jones is a singer that is very underrated. Harry Connick Jr said Jones is the best singer ever. He said you could line up all the greats close your eyes and listen and George Jones would beat them all.

Sam Cooke was amazing too!
