GREAT COVER SONGS
VA - Cover Me, Great Cover Songs (50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's) (12 x CD's)
In popular music, a cover version, cover song, revival, remake or simply cover, is a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song.
Before the onset of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, songs were published and several records of a song might be brought out by singers of the day, each giving it their individual treatment. Cover versions could also be released as an effort to revive the song's popularity among younger generations of listeners after the popularity of the original version has long since declined over the years.
On occasion, a cover can become more popular than the original, such as Elvis Presley's version of Carl Perkins' original "Blue Suede Shoes", Santana's 1970 version of Peter Green's and Fleetwood Mac's 1968 "Black Magic Woman", Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". The Hendrix recording, released six months after Dylan's original, became a Top 10 single in the UK in 1968 (US number 20) and was ranked 48th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Another famous example is the Beatles' cover of "Twist and Shout", originally by the Top Notes, and their cover of the song, "Til There Was You", by Meredith Willson, among many others. (Wikipedia)
Here I present compilations of Cover Songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's & 2000's. This is a seriously expanded version of a similar previous post . These Cover Versions are part of a 12 CD set . Three parts will be posted daily until complete.

Amazing collection and information! Thank you for all the work and for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks djmcblues2.
DeleteYou must have missed these the first time around.
I am glad you find enjoyment in this set.
Cheers.
Another very interesting idea. I took half of this - 50s,60s,70s as there's very little that interests me in the rest. Anyway, as always...many thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob Mac,
DeleteGlad you have picked up what is of interest to you. Many great cover versions there.
Cheers.
Great collection! And thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBut I'ld like to make a remark: the Beatles covered "Matchbox" by Carl Perkins, but that song is not really a cover of "Match Box Blues" by Lemon Jefferson, just a few lines of text but a different song. (and Lemon in turn took a few lines in it from "Lost Wandering Blues" by Ma Rainey)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(song)
Hi Sjef Smeets,
DeleteThank you for dropping in, and getting me to rethink my selection.
I accept your argument that The Beatles version of Matchbox is a cover of Carl Perkins version. But, also The version Carl Perkins made is an amalgamation of several blues artist. I think most Rock and roll came from the blues. I think Carl clearly used the lyrical content and changed the beat to suit the style of music he was aiming for. I do accept it is not a word for word cover and therefore your comment that the song may not really be a cover version is true. Other research I did for this compilation suggested that Carl's version was a Blind Lemon Jefferson cover. Anyhow, I do appreciate you asking the question.
Cheers.
Most interested in 50s and 60s. Many thanks, Paul
