Sam Cooke is my all time favorite singer, and Bring it on Home to Me is maybe his best song, or, at least, maybe his most widely covered. I had the idea the other day to string together some of the best covers into one ultimate version, as a tribute to one of the most talented singers the world has ever known. I don't own the rights to this song or any of these versions, I just wanted to do a tribute to a singer that I love a lot, and judging by the talent I put together in this video, lots of other people do too.
I'm actually pretty proud of this video. I've made a lot of videos, but this was the most fun and hopefully the one that will be the most popular. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think:

That was very cool. So many good tunes for such a short career. And also one weird death.
Typical Van Morrison just mumbling through the song, but I really like him.
Wow. Most covered song ever?
I just googled it: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Yesterday" is the most covered songs ever, with over 3,000 versions of the song. Wow.
As a side note, White Christmas is the most widely covered Christmas song.
