Who did it better?

Many songs get covered or re-interpreted, the covers often being more successful than the original.

Here are some cover versions of one song along with the original, let us know in the comments which is your favourite, or if you don’t like any of them.

“I Go To Sleep” was written by Ray Davies. The Kinks recorded a demo in 1965 but didn’t release it until 1988 as a bonus track on the re-release of their 1965 album “Kinda Kinks”.

It was first released by The Applejacks as a 1965 single.

It has been covered by several acts including:

Peggy Lee released her version as a 1965 single and the 1965 album “This Was Then Now Is Now!”

Cher included it on her 1965 album “All I Really Want To Do”.

The Pretenders on their 1981 album “Pretenders II”.

Graham Bonnet included it on his 1991 album “Here Comes The Night”.
