Default 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.

The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3
