For those that don't know, Diana Ross and the Supremes were the original and Kim Wilde of Kids in America fame performed a disco version in the 80's. [Reply]
Not a cover in the true sense, but a hologram of a dead singer doing their hits with a live band. Ronnie James Dio who died in 2010 of cancer, has a hologram performing with a live band on a US and European tour. Here a video from Warsaw, Poland.
I'm a big Neil Young fan but I much prefer The Mission's version of "Like A Hurricane". The original is sparse and kind of jam-y while The Mission's goth version is more fleshed out and lush (after the first minute or so).
The new version of "Running up that Hill" versus the Kate Bush original. Can't post on my phone.
On a side note, I'm having a drink for our departed friend Big Meatball Dave who is no longer with us and missed the Mahomes Era like Saccapoo and Lonewolf Ed.
