One of the cool things about music is watching other artists cover one another. Some make it their own, others do a carbon copy, and some just butcher it to death.
I was listening to a mix cd that a friend had made for a road trip and was happy to listen to 'Crimson & Clover' sung by Dolly Parton. I've recently been playing Prince's cover of the same song on repeat. I took it to youtube to discover who else has laid their hands on this song.
There's Dolly's country-fied rendition:
Here's Prince's version that I find very chilled and funkified
I found one by Joan Jett and it's apparently one of her first videos:
The original was by Tommy James and The Shondelles
Four different artists, but essentially the song is kept true to its essence.
Who does it best???

I'm a big fan of the original and Prince always has a place in my heart, but the more I listen, the more Dolly's version becomes my favorite....I think she's probably the only person who's sung it who accurately identify what clover looks like :P
