Under the Covers
I've been a music fan for decades and I still occasionally run into the original version of songs that I only knew as a cover but didn't know they were covers. Not too long ago I discovered these tunes:
One of the other links on my regular bookmark page is to a music library W-WW site originally compounded in the U.K., which at some point thereafter, went global. It is itself a hub site for other media such as LPs, 78s(!), cassettes, and CDs. It is called 45Cat. On it, you (| I) can look up song titles to learn who else has recorded and released a version of that song. The key drop-down box option is "Track"; e.g. enter "Young Blood" and learn that the track was released by Bad Company as a single in March 1976. (It did quite well for a 7-inch single by a group which did not need any big chart hits, rising to #20 on Billboard's "Hot 100" chart.) 45Cat is an intriguing W-WW site. You can spend hours going through the records and histories thereupon.

Thanks for the link. I was unaware of this site. I have come across even more covers I was unaware of.
