Best Cover/Remake of a Song EVER!
People get a bit high and mighty when someone covers or remakes a classic song, especially when it was a signature hit for someone else. I tend to believe if the work is of a high quality then it is more than acceptable for the music-loving market.
There will always be the good (Def Leppard covering '20th Century Boy'), the GREAT (Ike & Tina performing 'Proud Mary'), the bad (too many artists doing too many Beatles songs to choose) and the UGLY (Celine Dion singing 'Shook Me All Night Long').
Here is what I believe may be the greatest remake of a song ever. This artist (the one and only Ray Charles) unseats one of my favorite singers, a man who is responsible for many of the greatest remakes ever as well as the greatest original songsāthe one and only Johnny Cash.
Please enjoy this truly precious performance of 'Ring of Fire' by Ray Charles on the Johnny Cash Show. It is breath-taking and beautiful. It simply doesn't get any better than this. I'm certain June & Johnny would agree if they could.
