Linda was better looking and I consider had a slightly better version of Blue Bayou
For those with warped minds , the song title of Blue Bayou , is ahem ....
As for Don Henley wasent Stevie Nicks enough for him ?

TWIST AND SHOUT
Best known version by the Beatles
??? Top Notes [1961] little success
8.2 Isley Brothers [1962] excellent version , less paced than the Beatles
8.5 Brian Poole and the Tremeloes[1963] excellent
9.3 Beatles [1963] Sensational
I rather enjoy the rollicky sounds of The Isley Brothers
Sad day in musical history today The Tremeloes tell the world they have broken up [28/1/1966]
SHOUT
9.2 Johnny Okeefe [1964] awesome by an awesome singer
??? The Isley Brothers [1959]
Once again the Isley brothers feature for a song covered after them

'Concrete and Clay' was done over many times, i liked Martin Plaza's (Mental as Anything) version... but there was a female who sang it very well, can't seem to remember or find out who she was.

Dits, are you certain it was this song and not "Tar And Cement" recorded in 1966 by American female singer Verdelle Smith ?

SHAKIN ALL OVER
I've narrowed this to 3 versions
But its been covered extensively
Was first done by Johnny Kidd and The Pirates [1960]
9.1 Vinnie Taylor[1961]
Awesome singer, sensational version
If you have never heard of Vinnie Taylor , I suggest you do so
8.7 Guess Who [1965]
I have a few Guess Who albums, they stroke a cord with me
They do this cover brilliantly
9.6 Normie Rowe [1965]
National Anthem material
Happy Birthday to Normie Rowe today
67 years old
Was the Johnny Farnham of the mid sixties
Probably regrets he was born 1st Of February
The marble fell on this date , and Normie was called up to serve in the Vietnam War in 1967
What a singer

Re: COVERS - Take your pick

Among them;
Kate Ceberano
and a spoken version by Leonard Thiele (of Homicide fame)

Re: COVERS - Take your pick
California Girls
Released in 1965 by The Beach boys and written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love it was one of there biggest hits and still heard on radio regularly.
Another version was released in 1988 by David Lee Roth which became a hit as well, but as a Beachboy tragic from wayback I liked his version but the original can't be beaten.

It was written by Roy Orbison & Joe Melson.
This was original version and to me the best by one of music' greats
BUT---A cover version in 1977 by the lovely Linda Ronstadt was as close as you could get IMO to the original with Don Henley form the Eagles as a backing singer
Just a little side story about the lovely Linda Ronstadt, sadly she was diagnosed last August with Parkinson's disease which has left her unable to sing due to loss of muscle control which is common in Parkinson's patients.

As the Zoot was mentioned on another thread.... they also had a cover song of Eleanor Rigby, which i think is a better version than the Beatles...they spiced it up a bit with a little heavy rock. Daryl Cotton (Lead singer) Rick Springfield (lead guitar)

Was it Joe Cocker that also had an interesting version too?

Nothing about Joe Cocker having a version but he did have a Beatles cover with...'A little Help from my friends'
