Cover Better Than The Original

Heartbreaker (1982)
Written for Dionne Warwick by the Bee Gees



The Bee Gees' own version was recorded in 1994, but not released until 2001 on the album Their Greatest Hits: The Record.

 

I like this one too, same name, different song,

 

Superstar - 1969
Written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett. Originally called Groupie (Superstar)



Cover by The Carpenters - 1971
Arrangement and slightly different lyrics by Richard Carpenter

 

I'm not sure about this one, I like both of them, poor Harry passed before he was 40.



I think it will have to be Cat,

 

Goin' Up the Country, by The Possum Scratchers.



And Canned Heat...

 

I like this Nightwish cover of Pink Floyd’s “High Hopes”, more hauntingly memorable to me.

 

I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face (1956)
Written for, and first recorded by, Rex Harrison for My Fair Lady

Over 100 singers/groups/orchestras have covered this song. Not hard to beat the original unless I've never heard the best recording by Harrison. Not much to distinguish between the vocal covers. This one is a little different.

James Taylor (2020)

 

James Taylor has a gift of turning any song into a beautiful story.

 

What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

 

Is that Hall or Oates?

 

Daryl Hall. I have never heard of that kid singing the lead, but he is excellent. Not the Four Tops, though!!

ETA--back in the day, I thought their group was "Haulin' Oats."

 

Whoops,two different songs.I like both of them equally.

 

Beth, I have to disagree on this one, this is a romantic song to me and not well served with multiple artists.Plus the beat, melody was changed by them.
I liked the first one better. Listen to it again.
