Wow, that is a great, great GREAT song. Tremendous, and the best thing they ever did, and they had some very good songs.
Obviously a lot of incredible songs out there.
"What's Goin On?'- Marvin Gaye
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"- Hank Williams, but the interpretation by the Holmes Brothers is my starting point.
"The Very Thought of You"- Old standard by Ray Noble, but the version by Albert King makes me a very happy man.
Check out Youtube for the Holmes Brothers and Albert King takes above................................you'll be glad you did. The version of "The Very Thought of You" to check out is off the 'Born Under a Bad Sign' LP. There's several other versions, studio and live", but the best is off that particular record.

Holy smokes, that was highly impressive! Have a feeling the next wave of music from the younger generation has a chance to get us out of our funk and back to the good stuff. At least i like to to hope so. Great find..
I dropped this in another thread.
This is not one of my three favorite songs of all time, but this is my favorite version of this song. Worth a listen, I think. Enjoy.

Wow. 3 is really tough.
Scene Three: II. Fatal Tragedy-Dream Theater
Blackout-Scorpions
Led Boots-Jeff Beck
Really really love the live version of Save Yourself by McAuley Schenker group. Bucket list item is to get to see Micheal Schenker live.
I could easily list 10 different sets of three

So hard to pick just three...and probably a different answer tomorrow, but here goes:
Sometimes a Fantasy by Billy Joel
Band on the Run by Wings
Lose Yourself by Eminem
The Reflex by Duran Duran
Fly Me to the Moon by Sinatra
And pretty much anything off of The Cure's Mixed Up album.
An odd selection, I'll admit.
