Treat Her Right
 

So, the song Treat Her Right that the band is covering at the moment ... who is the original artist, who else has done versions of it, and what version would y'all recommend me to download?

I think the original was done by Roy Head, and if you want to hear a bit of how Jon sounds when he sings it, there are versions out there of him and Bruce Springsteen performing it with Southside Johnny and Bobby Bandiera. It's a good upbeat song, not bad as choice for a cover song.

I have the perfect version done by Page and Plant (Led Zeppelin). It doesn't get much better than they do it.

Uh...

You couldn't share it with me could you? iTunes is being kinda crap

Obviously i am very partial but i downloaded three different versions of it and I much prefer Bon Jovi's version of the song to the original...
