You know, I started thinking about popular music and how artists do remakes of popular songs.
Here are two songs - one from the original artist and the other who re-did it. Which version was better?
"I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" The Byrds (1965)- from the album "Mr Tambourine Man"
"I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" Tom Petty (1989) - from the album "Full Moon Fever"
++++++++++++++++++++++
"The First Cut Is The Deepest" Rod Stewart (1976) - from the album "A Night On The Town"
"The First Cut Is The Deepest" Sheryl Crow (2003) - from the album "The Very best Of Sheryl Crow"
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, I know that other artists have done versions of these songs too. If you think another artist has done a better version, let's hear about it.

I like ZZ Tops’s version better as well. Great video too. Captures the glamour of Vegas pretty well ...

Another remake that surpassed the original (by Leon Russell) was Karen Carpenter's "This Masquerade". She owns that song and I consider it far better than George Benson's version which did win the Grammy.
