"Cruel Summer"-Ace of Base
"Mad World" Gary Jules
"Heaven" DJ Sammy

I'll add more when I think of them

Alison Krauss singing "I Will" from The Beatles (I don't know how they sound singing this song, but to me, Alison sounds absolutely perfect!) :) :) :)

James Otto singing "Turn The Page" from Bob Seger (I have heard him sing this before and to me the dude doesn't have a thing on James.) :) :) :)

God bless you and James and Alison and their favorites always!!! :) :) :)

I also really like Metallica's cover of Bob Seger's "Turn The Page."

^^^ James has also covered these songs as well. :) :) :)

1.) "Rambilin' Man"-from the album Southern Rock: Country Style
2.) "They Call Me The Breeze"-from the Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector film (James actually gets the film started at its beginning by singing this song.)
3.) "Into The Mystic"-from the album Covered, A Revolution in Sound: Warner Bros. Records
4.) "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit Has Done Got Out Of Hand?"-from the album The Music Inside: A Collaboration Dedicated To Waylon Jennings, Vol. 1

God bless you and him always!!! :) :) :)

P.S. "Turn The Page" was never placed on an album.

James Otto singing "Turn The Page" from Bob Seger (I have heard him sing this before and to me the dude doesn't have a thing on James.) :) :) :)

I didn't care for this version at all, Seger's original has this beat by a longshot.

Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Self Control - Laura Brannigan
It's Gonna Take a Miracle - Stephanie Mills

Seal's Crazy-Alanis Morissette is pretty good! I just found the video. I think there is another one as well but I don't know the artist, but it's a woman.

I still love James because with him, nothing is ever held back. That is why his singing is the way that it is and I love it!!! :) :) :)

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I like Grand Funk's version of The Loco-Motion better than Little Eva.

Bongwater's versions of both "Splash1," and "You Don't Love Me Yet," are way better than Roky Erickson.

Lush did a better version of "Hey Hey, Helen," than Abba.


I had a few more in mind, but I forgot what they were.
