(Finished January 29th, 2020) Selected Best Cover Songs of All-Time: C-G, Songs 19-33

Hello,

The Clash covered the song that the Bobby Fuller Four popularized.
19) The Clash "I Fought The Law":



This song was on The Beatles "Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and sung by Ringo Starr. 20) Joe Cocker "With A Little Help From My Friends":



From the musical "A Little Night Music" and one of the first singers of this song was the great Frank Sinatra. 21) Judy Collins "Send In The Clowns":



This classic song was written by Nick Lowe and first recorded by Brinsley Schwartz.
22) Elvis Costello "What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding":



Joni Mitchell first recorded this song followed by CSNY, both in 1970. 23) Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Woodstock":



This song was recorded by six different musicians in 1940 before Fats Domino made it his own in 1956. 24) Fats Domino "Blueberry Hill":


It's hard to believe that the Queen of Soul wasn't the first person to sing this song, because when she sang the song she took over ownership of it. 25) Aretha Franklin "Respect":



Roberta Flack brought this song to fame, both mentioned versions of this song are very good. 
This live video actually features Roberta Flack, that's pretty cool. Can I just say I love Lauryn Hill, she's so amazing. It's a shame she hasn't released more songs. 26) Fugees "Killing Me Softly":


27) Ghost "It's A Sin":


This song was first made famous by the one and only Elvis Presley.
28) Grannis, Kina "Can't Help Falling In Love":


29) Obviously a cover of one of the best songs of the greatest rock band of all-time, do I even need to say their name? "Great White "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You";


Originally performed by the Ian Hunter Band. 30) Great White "Once Bitten, Twice Shy":


In my opinion this is the best version of this song by anyone who has sang it ever.
31) Greta Van Fleet "A Change Is Gonna Come":


32) Guns N' Roses "Live and Let Die":


33) Guns N' Roses "Knockin' On Heaven's Door":
