Listening to some amazing re-do's of classic rock

When my daughter got married, I sang the song Till There was You. To prep, I listened to at least 50 versions of the song. That got me in the habit of checking out different covers of the same song.

I think the Movie Music Man, and the Beatles made it really famous . Here's the Beatles covering it.

So, inspired by searching, I decided to do this posting, adding a few more.

Aretha Franklin "Let It Be" The Lennon and McCartney classic. 1970.

Here's an awesome rendition of what some say is the most popular rock song ever recorded-- Stairway to Heaven, done by Heart and Jason Bonham.
