What would Tony Orlando and Dawn’s pop smash “Knock Three Times” sound like if Elvis had covered it for the Country Charts?
Not too different from Billy “Crash” Craddock’s 1971 cover that went to #3

Patsy Cline “Walkin’ After Midnight” 1957, Decca
Lynn Howard actually cut first, 1956.
The song almost lived in a different lane before Nashville claimed it. Strong late 40’s Hollywood musical type vibes.

Bowie pulled it into Pin Ups in 1973 and made it a global hit

The Beatles put “Here Comes the Sun” on Abbey Road, 1969. George Harrison wrote it in Eric Clapton’s garden, hiding from the business
Nina Simone covered it in 1978 as only she could
And I say, "It's all right!”

Before Jefferson was an airplane or a starship, Grace Slick’s Great Society cut “White Rabbit” in 1966. The arrangement is loose, almost still being invented.
After four minutes of Bohemian jam, Grace gets a go

Well, I just had to laugh
