Here’s a fantastic cover of an average Tin Pan Alley tune I discovered just yesterday. Ray Charles (with Billy Preston): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIvlrCSiK9s

Ray Charles with Billy, for a ham-fisted wannabe piano pounder like me, this is pure heaven :)

Ok, back at ya, here’s my favorite Billy Preston cover, Summertime, just jaw-dropping virtuosity:

And a nice Ray Charles cover (the album version of this is just strange... they sped up the mix so it sounds like Ray is half-chipmunk):
