This is fun. Here are 200 original recordings that became better known in covered versions. Open the playlist and scroll to see what’s interesting to you.
Selection #30 is a good one. It was covered by Elvis and later became the basis for what I feel is the worst of all Beatles songs, John Lennon’s ‘Run for Your Life’.
Note: If you go to YouTube, the list keeps going, and going, and going…
Interesting. I made my own such playlist a couple of years ago, but *much* more limited. This is amazing!
