Glad you enjoyed it, Jerry. I'm falling behind on catching up on all the music links... will have to try and get to it over the weekend.
Oh, and about Boy George, hey-- I love to rant and rave about music, but don't apologize for posting what'cha love. I mean, it's your thread, right? And we don't all have to love exactly the same stuff.

Yeah, I mentioned her in another thread, but you can't ever have too much of Katie Webster, the late, great "Two-Fisted Mama." So here she is covering the classic "Sea of Love" by Phil Phillips and George Khoury.

Tina Turner let the world know she still had the goods when she covered Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". This perfect rendition marked the beginning of one of the greatest comebacks in pop music history.

Oh, and as an addendum to the 9 Signs that your husband is gay thread - if your husband can recount in detail exactly where he was and what he was doing the first time he heard Tina's version of "Let's Stay Together", there can be no doubt.

Being a bit more contemporary for a moment for all the young'uns here at Legion World, I think the White Stripes did a great job at updating these two old classics (and the video for the first one is sexy as Hell IMO - and I am no fan of the model involved) -

Yes, Blacula, Ike and Tina's cover of Proud Mary is one of the ultimate examples of laying claim to another's artist's song and making it your own. I could waste a whole day watching Tina Turner clips on youtube. So many amazing performances. She also claimed Elton John's hit "The Bitch Is Back" as her own.
Thanks for posting the White Stripe's "Jolene". I've been meaning to get to that one. Jack White just doesn't compromise as an artist. He brought the same sensibility to Loretta Lynn's work on Van Lear Rose a few years back to great effect.

Since I'm on a Carla Bozulich kick, here's another of her old outfits, Ethyl Meatplow, doing a number on "Close To You."
Personally, I think it's hilarious, but YMMV.

Accordians do add something to that Rod Stewart song. Very funny. It does need a couple of drag queens, though.
This is the first time I heard the Gabriel cover of Young. I like it. What is the world is he doing releasing a cover album, though? He's always struck me as one of those chronic songwriters never able to sate the need to get his own music out there.
Pearl Jam does what is considered the most iconic Young cover, I guess. It always gets my blood pumping:
