Rosco Gordon original, "Just a Little Bit":



Slade cover:

The Batlord

What is it with parents not only being incompetent barbers but reckless and impatient ones too?

Apologies if this has already been done, but I prefer Harry Nilsson's cover of Badfinger's Without You (though the original is still quite good).





Nilsson was one of those artists whose covers were usually better than the original.

Then again, harry Nilsson has some of his own songs covered (and his versions tend to be better too)
