  • Here's one
  • Here's an unusual one that starts at about the 1:00 mark and may not be on his CDs
  • Here's another
  • Here's the first of a series about him
• Some songs by original artists copied rather directly (in my opinion) by Santana (I'm a fan of Santana, but geez):
  • "Oye Como Va" by Tito Puente: written in 1963; compare with Santana's version
  • "Black Magic Woman" by Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac (or this version); compare with Santana's version
  • This one, "She's Not There" by The Zombies, seems to me not as close to Santana's version as in the cases above; but in my opinion, Santana doesn't add much to the original, unlike this 2004 performance by Vanilla Fudge.
    (Aside: Here's how the Vanilla Fudge looked and sounded back in the 60s -- not such a different sound -- and the video is complete with go-go dancers!)
    Here's a version by some guy on American Idol that in my opinion, adds nothing but is really pretty good.
  • Compare Santana's version of "Evil Ways" (here's a version I found on youtube) to a version from Willie Bobo, who wrote that song. (I can't put a date on the latter though, so I wonder if it incorporated ideas from Santana -- help welcome on this.)
  • Here is Europa by Santana, which could be compared to the earlier theme from The Fox by Lalo Schifrin.
• Above is a link to a Zombies song copied by another. The Zombies included Rod Argent, who later was the lead singer for the group Argent. Compare Argent's original version of the song "Liar" with Three Dog Night's copy. Sounds to me like a pretty direct copy!
• Another copy-cat, as far as I can tell:
  • Original: "Stormy" by Classics IV
  • Seems like a copy (OK, the Wikipedia article kind of explains this, but still!): "Save Room" by John Legend
• Speaking of copies:
  • Wild World, an original song written and recorded (1971) by Cat Stevens
  • Love You Like A Love Song Baby, Selena Gomez (& the Scene), released 2011
  • A little less obvious a copy, but listen to the refrain: Fame (I'm Gonna Live Forever), Irene Cara
  • This pop hit from 1975 vs. this part of a classical piece.
• Everybody's Talkin'
  • The best-known version, by Harry Nilsson (from Midnight Cowboy, I think)
  • Spanky and Our Gang
  • Fred Neil (who wrote this song -- probably the original version)
• Others on "wonder if there was copying going on" theme:
  • "Led Zeppelin Totally Sounds Like Spirit"
  • "Similarities in songs... Just for fun!!!"
  • "The most stolen song in the history of music"
• Chris Kenner - I Like It Like That'' (1961)
  Some knock-offs:
  • The Contenders
  • Dave Clark Five
  • Chris Kenner, "Let Me Show You How to Twist"
• Two rather different (sets of) versions of "Well All Right":
  • Probably the most familiar version: Blind Faith
  • As above, much later: Winwood/Clapton in Feb. 2008
  • The original, as far as I know: Buddy Holly
  • Buddy Holly & The Picks
• I like comparing these versions of a classic Bob Dylan song, "It Ain't Me Babe"
  • June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash
  • Bob Dylan (unusual version, seems to me)
  • The Turtles (who I think popularized this song)
• Lots of versions of "Gonna Get Along Without You Now":
  • Skeeter Davis
  • Viola Wills (maybe the popular version? Not the first, though)
    • Alternate "house/garage mode" version
    • Alternate "Euro Mix" version
  • Bad Manners
    • A version with a funny (but apparently low-quality) video
    • And who doesn't like Can-Can?
  • Chet Atkins (very nice!)
  • Tracey Dey
  • She and Him
  • UB40
  • Papa San
  • Theresa Brewer (the original? -- rather different from the others)
  • Trini Lopez -- a guy version, quite fun
  • Mr. President -- some kind of dance version
  • Soraya -- lively
  • Vibrations -- Is this really the same song?
  • OH NO! -- Lawrence Welk show!
• Some versions of "Dazed and Confused":
  • The Yardbirds: Pre-dates Led Zeppelin (presumably no accident that Jimmy Page was in both)
  • Led Zeppelin (by far the best-known version, I think)
  • Jake Holmes (author of the song)
• One of my favorite recordings of all time: Boato performed by Lalo Schifrin. It's also the first song on his album, "Bossa Nova - New Brazilian Jazz".
  But I found this "unusual" vocal version on Youtube. And another. And yet another (Elza Soares).
• "Cotton Fields" (not a favorite of mine, but I find the variety kind of interesting)

  • Crosby Stills Nash 4+20 Suite Judy Blue Eyes

• Novelties:
  • "Worst Choir ever" -- well, maybe, but they have guts!
