Elvis, singing anything!

Kate Smith, singing "God Bless America"!
Hank Williams, singing "I'm so lonesome I could cry"!
Jim Stafford, singing "The Wildwood Weed!

To me, it all depends on the song. There are some songs that can only be sung by one person(or like that one person). Who else can sing "Big Bad John" but Jimmy Dean? "The Hockey Song, by Stompin Tom? "Respect", by Aretha? "Pretty Woman", by Roy Orbison?

But, Sarah Brightman does to me, what I suspect Elvis did to the girls!
