Powerful covers - love the song and the review - The Sound of Silence

I remember about 10 years back thinking of doing an acoustic cover of the Outkast tune "Hey Ya". Then I found this guys vid and took a pass because his voice is just so smooth and he nails it so well. And there are alot of lyrics to learn.

 

"Thunderstruck" by The Steve'n'Seagulls:

 

Yeah, "Streets of Fire". I'm old. Sad thing is, I own a DCD of the movie. All the cop cars are 1950 Studebaker Champs, and yes, it has some great tunes. Walter Hill's rock and roll fable.

 

Speaking of Sioxsie,

 

Yep, I know a guy who was out in California back a fair few decades ago and while hanging in a club someone wandered in and started singing this song. Turns out it was the guy from the righteous brothers. I always thought that was pretty cool. But until recently I had no idea how old the song was or how many versions that had been recorded.
