the beautiful thing about the movement known as "Playing for Change"...is that they use people from all around the world in their vids... singers, musicians etc

I have no idea what this lot sing about in this song....but I think its so beautiful they all agree to participate to make such cool music

Sorry OP....will just post well known covers in future... but these guys, deserve recognition

Talking Heads - Take Me To The River (1978) - quirky cover of Al Green's original version (1974?)  One of my favorite covers ever.  But Al Green's version is very good too, in a different way.

I do love the album title - "Al Green Explores Your Mind".

It was a long time before I knew this was a cover and now that I think about it, it's probably the best cover that comes to mind.

I never knew the song, but how about the Guess Who cover? (I really like the video!)
