'It must be love,' by Madness. The original by Labi Siffre was great, but i think this cover is the best and i grew up listening to this song and their many others.
It's a very good version. I heard it without knowing who it was and thought it was very good. Someone I know who is, to say the least, a Stones NUT - seen them over 100 times including early gigs in Richmond in the 60's - phoned me and said it was the best cover version he'd ever heard and did I know who it was? When I told him it was Susan Boyle he went mental and said actually it was sh1te! Some people are so narrow minded.

Yeh, that really happened
I know, I was there. You too?
Whoosh
No whoosh fella, I know what you were implying. I think my comment went a lot further over your head son.
Yeah ok. Fair cop Governor. You really did me there good and proper. I'm such a ****. OMG! I don't think I can ever post on here again. Gutted. You're just too good for me. Bloody Hell! Mugged off massive. CRAP! GOODNIGHT!
I love cover versions when someone trys to do something different with a song and not copy the original.
Others have mentioned Johnny Cash's late albums ,they are a treasure trove of excellant covers as Cash's voice suits the material beautifully . Four favourites of mine not mentioned not exhaustive :
In My Life ( Beatles ) Father and Son ( Cat Stevens ) Won't Back Down ( Tom Petty ) Streets of Laredo (Traditional)
I like Tim Harden who was better known as a songwriter , these are the best covers of his most famous songs in my opinion .
Reason To Believe ( Rod Stewart ) If I Were A Carpenter ( Robert Plant ) Lady Came From Baltimore ( Bobby Darin ) Hang On To A Dream (Cliff Richard ) Don't Make Promises ( Paul Weller)
Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting by the Who is better than the Elton John original and sounds like an authentic Who song. The amazing Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You 'was originally a Dolly Parton song
A New England - Kirsty McColl Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell China Girl - David Bowie The Man who sold the World - Nirvana I fought the law - The Clash (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding” – Elvis Costello Respect - Aretha Franklin
jonny cash - hurt blondie - hanging on the telephone killers - shadowplay arctic monkeys - diamonds are forever maccabees - home alone theme dickies - eve of destruction jam - move on up replacements - black diamond ordinary boys - little bitch placebo - running up that hill strokes - life's a gas karen o - immigrant song
Graham Parker's version of The Who song 'Substitute'..... fantastico
Agreed - stroke of brilliance.
Black Crowes - Hard To Handle
Johnny Cash covering Nick Lowe's The Beast In Me
Another good call. He also covered Nick's Without Love - well he was his step-father in Law! Talking of the creator of 'Bowi' (after David Bowie brought out his album 'Low', Whitney Houston has funded Nick Lowe since What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding appeared on her movie and provided Mr Lowe with a rich pension fund.
Love In Vain by the Stones - a cover of a Robert Johnson original although very cheekily Jagger/Richards claimed writing credits on the their original vinyl release! The whole Eric Clapton album of covers of Johnson songs.

They did the same with "Stop Breaking Down" from Exile on Main Street. Think those songs may have been out of copyright? Cracking versions mind
Great big sea version of End of the world as we know it Oysterband - Love Vigilantes And of course....... Marillions versions of Fake plastic trees and everybody hurts
