Another big Aussie hit in 1969. Apologies for my Aussie parochialism but here, in my opinion, this is a better version of Dear Prudence than The Beatles'. This is by Doug Parkinson in Focus. I have no doubt you'll disagree with my sentiments. Doug Parkinson's vocals are superb and much more ballsy and emotional than Lennon's (....ducking for cover!).

Great cover, Dwill, but I really love this version by Leon Russell, George Harrison and friends:

I grew to hate Sultans of Swing after it got played to death on the radio, but someone recently sent me this flamenco version and I rediscovered a song I now love:

Cool version.....love his vocal; sounds a bit like Leslie West there.

Oh....and the Doc Severinsen ITCOTCK was also very cool......our family watched Carson every night and enjoyed Doc's musical bits.

Pretty close to the original but still better than the April Wine and Ozzy Osbourne versions.

I heard that Suck version of KC some years back ...my friend Tom collected weird psych rock bands and that was on an album he had....not bad in the scheme of things.

Saxon and Voivod did KC covers as well, pretty good stuff.

The greatest cover of all (!).
