Musical progression via YouTube

The premise is simple, post an original song from YouTube followed by various versions from its original artist or memorable/interesting/notable covers. Post the videos in chronological sequence (if known) and include trivia if possible.

Here's a start. A classic

The original - 1958


Live - 1958


The Beatles Live at the BBC - 1964


Jimi Hendrix Live


Elvis live Hawaii -1973


Peter Tosh live - 1983


Johnny Winter - 1984


Marty McFly and the Starlighters - 1985


Judas Priest - 1988


Jerry Lee Lewis and Friends - 1989





A more obscure song, but a very good one..........

The original version - 1964


the Moody Blues version - 1964
the original line up of the Moody Blues with Denny Laine (Wings) singing


Denny singing with Wings - 1976


Ozzie - 2005


Simply Red - 2008



In this case the Moody Bues version was the hit, but clearly the orginal was a masterpiece. The other covers, well maybe not so much.

Your turn.....
