Went to a three hour concert of this 73 years old veteran and 11-player band yesterday. Music from various composers including Verdi and the artist himself, but this tune was best (this video from another event)

Procol Harum - Salty Dog

Who can forget that Santana's Black Magic Woman is a cover of Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac's?


Taking the live recording of Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen from Moonflower, because in my opinion it outdoes the others, especially the lazier studio versions. Other's may disagree :)

Just One Look

Doris Troy (I love this version!)

The Hollies (the classic)

Bryan Ferry (an interesting take - but then the whole of the Taxi album is interesting!)

Also, many other people have covered this track; Linda Ronstadt, Eddie Lovett ...

What Now My Love

Elvis Presley is the known versions, but it's been covered in a similar style by lots of people.
Agnetha Fältskog covered it on her album of covers "My Colouring Book".
