David Ruffin's version of "Rainy Night in Georgia" was recorded in 1971, but for some reason, was not released until 2004. I think it's one of the better versions of the song that I've heard.
I think the most well-known version is probably the Brook Benton version, but the original version was by the song's writer, Tony Joe White and it's from 1969. I don't like this original version.

If there's another version of this song, I don't know about it. As far as I know, these are the only 2 versions of this song. If someone here knows of another version, please let me know.
One of the most amazing covers I know. Del Shannon singing Running scared. How can you make one of the most dramatic songs even more dramatic? How can you outorbis Orbison? (And get rid of the Schmaltz?) I love the original but this is better.
In 2012, Amnesty International released Chimes Of Freedom, a four CD charity tribute album of songs written by Bob Dylan. (There was also a 2 cd version sold at Starbucks.) Seal and Jeff Beck got together for this recording of one of Dylan's greatest songs.
