I've always preferred the Elvis version of Always on my mind over the Willie Nelson version.

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!
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!
"Long Haired Country Boy" is done better by Every Mother's Nightmare than by The Charlie Daniel's Band. And somebody did a hilarious folk, acoustic version of "Boys In The Hood."
Fever is probably the most covered song by some of the greats Peggy lee, Armstrong etc etc.
Heres the original and then what I think is the best blues version if not the outright best version ever by James Cotton.
Ok there you go. Fever with showmanship.

Yes Andre I'm talking about George Jones the white country singer.
Fever as done by Elvis is phenomenal, he had the crowd in the palm of his hand!
As for rap covers: Ben Folds 'Bitches Ain't Shit', Nina Gordon 'Straight Outta Compton', The Gourds 'Gin and Juice', Dynamite Hack 'Boyz N Da Hood' are all very good and there's one guy that does a cover of 'What's Your Fantasy' that's really good too.
There you go Just for you Lyle.
