Oh man, the Concert for Kampuchea.
I wonder if I would ever have thought of that concert, never mind who played at it, lol!
Wish I could have seen Rockpile at some point in my life.
Nice research Jon...for an old guy, lol!
Ahhh...research DOES have benefits.
Rockpile did cover this song WITH Robert Plant at the Concert for Kampuchea. That's why I knew that Plant covered it and how I thought Rockpile did as well because I had this album when I was a lad.
And my proof?
Come to think of it, I have heard Robert Plant do it, on a solo album right?
The others I don't know about.
But I do know Rockpile very well- hell, they only made one official album and it wasn't on that, lol!
The "Little Siter" cover I have is by Robert Plant, but it's also been covered by Ry Cooder, Dwight Yoakam, Pearl Jam & The Staggers. I think I've heard Cooder's version as well. I also thought Rockpile covered it, but they didn't.
Jon,
ALRIGHT! Liked them all my man!
I don't know about that Little Sister by Elvis.
Are there that many others who have done it, and why has that escaped me?
Or am I the one who escaped, lol?
Glad you are with me on that, I did want to somehow honor those who served.
Thanks for listening and writing,
Mike
Like these all, even the Elvis song. I wonder how many different artists have covered that one song, I believe I have a few different versions stashed away.
Really nice list Mike, all in the name of those that have sacrificed themselves for this country!
Now that's a twist. Songs from folks that actually served. Really cool idea bro.
I liked the Johnny Cash tune and the Michael Nesmith song. I'm not familiar with that Marvin Gaye song or the history you gave on why he enlisted, but it was quite interesting.
Love Elvis as you probably know. And I'd say he's definitely the most prominent celebrity enlistee ever. I also like Dwight Yoakam's version of Little Sister, but I have no idea if he's a Veteran.
Can you ever go wrong playing Hendrix? I don't think so. But I had no idea he was in the Armed Forces. Great reason to join though.
Finally, the Golden Pell is being presented to Jerry Garcia for The Wheel. Nice track.
