Music - Cover Versions & Lesser Known Originals

I thought I would start a new music thread to share cover versions or less well known versions of original songs (sometimes the cover versions are more famous).

I'm going to start the ball rolling with these three covers.....

Gimme Shelter by Merry Clayton (Rolling Stones original) youtu.be/AHvXhWJ0oHU

Jumpin' Jack Flash by Thelma Houston (Rolling Stones original) https://youtu.be/6Gg1AcIM_8E

Dear Prudence by Jerry Garcia (Beatles original) https://youtu.be/7SoHwjznie8

I Love Rock 'n' Roll by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts was (much to my surprise) a cover. The original was by a group called The Arrows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AT_Pbtyid0

Wasn’t that tied in with Wayne’s World 2?

Yes, Wayne's World! I loved those two films. They reflected where I grew up (suburban areas outside of Chicago). At a small concert venue outside London, I met Pete Friesen who was in the first Wayne's World. He was one of Alice Cooper's guitarists and he had a line in the scene when Wayne and Garth went backstage to meet Alice. The next time I met Pete I got him to autograph my Wayne's World video cover. Nice guy.
