There's a good thread on this not far down the Cowshed already

I'll stand by my original submission in there - Otis Redding's Try A Little Tenderness is vastly superior to the original song.

The cover versions threads have been done to death on here. I'll just mention 'Hurt' and 'Tainted Love' now to save anyone else the bother.

If you are comparing how shite the original was to how good the other band made the song there is only one winner.

John and Olivia's version was shite.

I really hope you're joking. They took a brilliant song and turned it into disco pap. IMO.

Chuck Berry's original can't be touched, in my opinion. Even by The Beatles.

It can, for me, and that's why I posted The Beatles version! :approve: Of course, the original is fantastic, but The Beatles version, with the searing, shredded, Lennon vocal shades it for me! And the intent of the thread is to throw in a COVER you like - not defend the original; I love the original, which is why I love the cover even more! :yas:

Not even remotely joking. The original is a depressing, un-melodic dirge. A Pink Floyd fan not 'getting' Disco hardly comes under the 'shock of the year' category.
