Dick Gaughan recorded "Let It Be Me" on his recent album Redwood Cathedral.

Weird, but it works. Of course, Gaughan has a natural way with slooooooowwwww songs.

However, it wouldn't go in the opposite direction. I really can't see Barry Manilow covering "Worker's Song", or Celine Dion doing a tribute of Holly Near's greatest feminist anthems.

Yikes.
