Steve Miller, Filthy McNasty, 1988, Capitol Germany, 20 2877 7
The most popular version IMHO of Horace Silver's composition comes from the gangster of love. Produced by space cowboy Ben Sidran. Sax by Bobby Malach.
This version is all good clean fun but for the Jazz admirer not better than the original.

Johnny Winter, Let It Bleed, 1973 from LP "Still Alive And Well"
Listen to the outro of "Let it bleed" by Johnny Winter: "Goddamnit, did that get it, or what?"
It did, IMHO.

Jimmy James And The Vagabonds, Good Day Sunshine, 1968
Better than the original by The Beatles? Not possible? Listen to this version of "Good day sunshine" by Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, produced by John Schroeder for Pye Records. Slow (as possible)version, powerful harmonies of women vocals, fat horns, big orchestra and everything. Phil Chen played the guitar solos and fills. This is not rubber soul...

Babe Ruth, Black Dog, 1972
Chilling version of Jesse Winchester's original "Black dog", because of the twin guitars by Alan Shacklock, the dramatic vocals by Janita Haan and the piano solo.
