A chart topper from 1974 which was a reggae cover of the David Gates (of Bread) original.  David Gates wrote it after the death of his father.  It was subsequently also covered by Boy George.  I still prefer the original so I'm posting that as well.  Enjoy.

Sort of sad and understated. Good version.

 

I suppose that I'll always prefer the sparer, angrier version of Men they couldn't hang, from my youth.

Contemporary live version here (from 1:10 - bit of blather first):

Probably every single cover by Johnny Cash.  I can't think of many people who make pretty much every song they cover better than the original.  X

 

This one gave me the chills when I first heard/saw it . Still does.

 

Here's a section of an excellent BBC profile of Cash about this cover and his final years:

How about this for a stunning cover OF Cash?

 

 

A whole album (1988) of covers of Cash songs here, preceded by a short excerpt with Cash talking about the cover album:

(features the likes of Pete Shelley, Michelle Shocked, Marc Riley, Voice of the Beehive, Marc Almond)
