Wanted to post the Hendrix version of this song, but due to legal battles you can't find any Hendrix stuff on Youtube.
Gary Moore comes about as close as anyone to the feeling of the Jimi version.

Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Moore, Duane Allman, Harrison, the list goes on and on.
So many that are Gone...May they find peace.

Wow, this is a fun thread!

It is and has attracted 170 covers in a month.
I love going back to the 60's and posting covers of those great songs.
Some songs have been covered over 600 times.
This great one, only 37 covers.
Don Gibson - Funny, Familiar, Forgotten Feelings 1966

Tom Jones - Funny, familiar forgotten feelings 1967​

 

[JimBob1952]

I like one of these a lot better than the other. BTW "Sea of Heartbreak" first sung (but not written by) Don Gibson has been covered many, many times, by Johnny Cash, Jimmy Buffett and others.

 

[JimBob1952]

Somebody called Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the best cover band in the world, and I would have to agree.
