In many ways Bryan improved and radically reworked the originals, especially Hard Rain and The In Crowd, dare I say it: She's Leaving Home is even better than the Beatles original...

Thanks to Simon for uploading songs that many would not have previously heard. Top bloke that Mr. Galloway.

Unfortunately the above links aren't valid anymore. Should we put our own collection of links together?

I've started with These Foolish Things:

Bob Dylan: A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall

Ketty Lester: River of Salt

The Crickets: Don't ever Change

Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding Company: Piece of my Heart

Elvis Presley: Baby I Don't Care

Leslie Gore: It's My Party

The Beach Boys: Don't Worry Baby

Rolling Stones: Sympathy For The Devil

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles: Tracks Of My Tears

The Beatles: You Won't See Me

The Paris Sisters (produced by Phil Spector): I Love How You Love Me

The Four Tops: Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever (written by Stevie Wonder & Ivy Jo Hunter)

The Four Tops: Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever (Alternate Version)

These Foolish Things was written by Eric Maschwitz and Jack Strachey in 1936. The song was interpreted by numerous artists, I arbitrarily picked three of them:

Billie Holiday: These Foolish Things

Nat King Cole: These Foolish Things

Ella Fitzgerald: These Foolish Things

According to wikipedia when Bing Crosby covered the song he omitted the line "The song that Crosby sings". Unfortunately I couldn't find Crosby's version online.

Maybe somebody likes to continue the list?
