Hmmm---AS tears go by---marianne Faithful?
The last time----the who??

What do you think??

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

The Last Time wasnt a hit. Doubt it even scraped the Uk top 40 and most Who fans probably dont even know they covered it. As Tears Go By got to No.9 in the UK and was in the lower reaches of the top 30 in the US.

I'd guess Chris Farlow's 'Out of Time' - which topped the UK charts in 1966 and is to this day the version that's best known.

Off the top of my head, I cant think of any other covers which have been number 1 singles.

Tumbling Dice by Linda Ronstadt maybe?

US top 40, batcave, but wasnt a BIG hit.

Actually....I've just thought of one.

Wild Horses by Susan Boyle.

That'll outsell the rest by some distance. The single went top 10, but the album its featured on is absolutely massive.

I guess there have been several very well selling covers of Stones songs. "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve is just another of those.

Think--Chris farlowes "Out of Time!." 66, i think. Susan b. just started

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

Beast of Burden by Bette Midler?

does "bitter sweet symphony" count?

still--I think---its Melanie,---"Ruby tuesday!!!

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

in the top ten-single charts around the world

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

Agree with Susan Boyle's Wild Horses.

It will be interesting to see how that crappy Bossa'n Stones sold.
it was very big in South America and they are on tour at the time.

Well, it was a b-side so that didn't help it. Can't believe she put I'll Never Marry on the a-side.

The only "great" covers (to me) are Devo - Satisfaction, Otis Redding - Satisfaction and The Soup Dragons - I'm Free. All changed the song quite a bit. I'm Free is better than the Stones version.

I'm not sure that Susan Boyle's cover is such a big seller in all-time terms - you don't need to sell half as many copies these days to make the Top Ten, certainly in the UK. I'm no expert, but my money would be on a much earlier single.

I remember It's Only Rock'n Roll was recorded some time in the late 90's for some charity purpose.

Er, Like A Rolling Stone. Didn't he cover it back in the 60s? And while we're on the subject - here's the ultimate Bobby version of the song.

No.

#71 in the USA. Didnt chart in the UK, although the video got some airplay (dont think we had MTV here back then, though). Bette has rarely troubled the singles charts in the UK apart from a couple of top 10 ballad-style hits in the early 90s. Her albums havent done much here either although shes a popular concert draw (she's here at the minute)

According to wikpedia, 'Beast of Burden' reached #2 in Sweden, #10 in the Netherlands and #15 in Germany. The album it came from, 'No Frills' got to #1 in Sweden.

Slip of the pen Doxa,was allready celebrating Keef`s birthday!
