Janis Joplin/Big Brother & The Holding Company ,does Jazz Diva Ella Fitzgerald's,"Summertime".
Some music writers say this song featured the first,"electric guitar solo" running from 2:10-2:38.
I just love the way the raging distortion electric guitar solo,is drawn to its' close,with ethereal clear high notes.

I made a point of listening to Ella Fitzgeralds',"Summertime" and found it quite bland.
Whereas Billie Holidays',"Strange Fruit" was not done much favor by UB40,later in the 1980s'.

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails covered by Johnny Cash. Two very different styles of artists obviously and I believe even Trent Reznor gave high praise to Johnny even stating that it’s Johnny’s song now

The beautiful Fraser Valley !

I love Skynyrd's version too !
It's interesting to see how one Artist's song, will influence another Artist . I think Eric, was influenced too ?
I can hear "Lay Down Sally", ready to pop out ? LOL

I was going to post "The Animals" - "House of the Rising Sun" > "Bob Dylan" - "House of the Rising Sun" only to find out through the wonders of research that Bob Dylan never wrote the original. "House of the Rising Sun" is an old folk song. Learned me something today, class dismissed.
