Marvin Gaye's or Ottis Redding's. To be fair, they're both brilliant. . . and I can't decide. I reckon Marvin's is sexier but Ottis' has more soul. And yes I know the Temptations recorded the original, so do one Weaste.
Which cover version do you reckon's the best?

Maybe not the best ever, but I like this one:
Yeah but which one's the best cover of My Girl? Marvin's or Ottis'?
Well?
Well?
Otis is better.
I love marvin gaye but otis' version just works a lot better for me. Great song though.
Marvin's is cooler, though. Don't you think? I reckon Ottis's is more closer to the original.
I can't decide.
Ottis
I just find the Otis version easier to listen to, I think it has more rhythm.
This sounds amazing in accapella.
I like the reggae version.
Both excellent Spoons but I'd have to say the Otis one, being appreciably a slower tempo is
a/ sexier and
b/ more soulful
Marvin aways has that gorgeous silken voice but for this song the slower tempo works much better imo
The original is fantastic though and beautifully orchestrated

This is the one and only time I will ever .. ever agree with Jopub on something.
Otis all the way just a bit more get up and go to it,
marvin, always marvin
The Temptations is the best version.
Although Ottis out of those two.

How about Landslide? Whose cover was better? Dixie Chicks or Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac? The Smashing Pumpkins original is great, but how about the covers?
I know it's originally by Fleetwood Mac.

With some singers who actually could sing, this would be an excellent version i have to say
I prefer the arrangement of the Otis, but Marvin suits the song better.
Otis for me, Marvin was cool but Otis is the most soulful singer ever to walk the planet. FACHT.
Billy's version clearly shits all over the original. Dixie Chicks' version shits on it.
Best cover ever.
that's pretty interesting gambit.Who's that ?
The remarkable Richard Cheese, turns all songs into lounge lizard acts.
I prefer it over the original. Are the vids vanishing for anyone else?
Dick Cheese
You got it. I thought everyone knew this guy.Dick Cheese
