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.

“Susie Q” is a song written by Dale Hawkins and Robert Chaisson (also credited are Stan Lewis and Eleanor Broadwater although they didn’t actually contribute), first recorded and released in 1957.
