Here is BNL with Burt Bachrach doing 'Close to You.' This was the original version of BNL with Steve Page, before he was removed from the band. It's too bad he's gone, he has such a great voice.

Yes, that was the part that stood out to me too. Her last scream is really something.That girl's voice is killer.

Seems this is the de facto cover songs thread. Obviously not better than the original, but pretty great:

Sacrilege, but I'm okay with it. Not better, just still brilliant.

If you liked that, you can also Youtube them doing "Cinnamon Girl" and "Magical Mystery Tour" - the former is on the "October Rust" LP, the latter I'm not sure they ever committed studio time to, but they used to play it live all the time, so I'm sure there's footage out there.

Back a couple of months ago when Nelson Mandela died, people kept getting the song Biko confused thinking it was about Mandela. When I was looking for it on Spotify, it was hard to find any Peter Gabriel versions of it (or any other PG song), but I did find this cover version by Ray Wilson, who I had never heard of before. It is spectacular.
Biko
After doing some research about him and listening to the rest of the album, I learned that he was at one point a lead singer for Genesis, while Phil Collins was taking a break. This explains why he does such a good job doing a cover of this song:
In the Air Tonight
The album "Live And Acoustic Recorded live at the Edinburgh International Festival" had a couple of other good covers:
Desperado
Born to Run
Obviously these aren't better than the originals, but these are great, IMHO.

Well....no.
But OAR doing a "Fool In The Rain" cover is still worth a watch.

I'm with Fritz. Manfred Mann's version is much better than Springstein's version. I'm sure any true Springstein fan will disagree.
