God bless you and the Presley family and Willie always!!!
Holly
P.S. Has anyone else done this song at all?
If push came to shove, I'd go for the Willie version. Other versions? Apart from Brenda Lee's original, the only other version that I can think of was The Pet Shop Boys (which i won't post here as I never liked it)
I love both versions and comparing is a pretty pointless exercise I suppose but if I could only listen to one version for the rest of my life it would be the Disturbed version. So powerful and what a voice
This is one which I recently posted on the Sticky Fingers thread which also fits here (and the Marianne Faithfull track deserves some love) so........ here you are
Sister Morphine
I hadn’t realised that Marianne Faithfull released this track prior to the Stones putting this on Sticky Fingers. I love her version, which includes contribution from Mick, Ry Cooder, Jack Nitzsche and Charlie. What a line-up so I’ve included it here as well as the Stones version.
The Stones' version, with slightly different lyrics, featured Mick on vocals, Keith on acoustic guitar, Ry Cooder on slide guitar and Jack Nitzsche on piano, Bill Wyman on bass, and Watts again on drums. What a line-up again
Definitely one of the Stones greatest tracks. Sleazy and brilliant

This is a heavy calypso groove laden cover with some exceptional acoustic guitar work by Leo Kottke and downplayed vocals by both Kottke and Mike Gordon. A nice reimagining of an old hit 30 years later.
The original from 1975 is one of the songs that made Aerosmith famous. It was the band's first top 40 hit, and it remains a staple of classic rock radio. For a moment in the mid 70's, they were one of the best hard rock bands anywhere.
There are no maracas on the intro...the sound is Tyler shaking a packet of sugar.
