I think Tina Turner the musical is touring but Tina retired a while ago. She’s not in the best health.
She’s one of the few people I regret never seeing live.

How about a two fer. Adam Lambert covers The Muffin Man impersonating Cher Believe.
He’s pretty talented.

Thanks, that’s more plausible than what I was thinking. That ticket link on the video made me do a double-take!
Same here.

So many other favorites fall in this category:
Different Drum (Stone Poneys/Nesmith)
Lotta Love (Nicolette Larson/Neil Young)
State of Independence (Donna Summer/Vangelis and Jon Anderson)
Do Ya (ELO/The Move)
Poor Poor Pitiful Me (Linda Ronstadt/Zevon)
First Cut is the Deepest (PP Arnold and Rod Stewart/Cat Stevens)
Winning (Santana/Ballard), as well as pretty much any Russ Ballard song, the guy was a hard rock hit machine for everyone other than himself.
I really wanted this to be Zappa’s Muffin Man.
You thought he was a man, but he was a muffin.

Tommy Shaw (Styx) and Jack Blades (Night Ranger) got together in the 90s for an original album but in 2007 they did a cover album called Influence with songs that influenced them. It’s a great album. So is the Hallucination album from the 90s.

I personally prefer Lowen & Navarro singing their own song, but of course everyone knows Pat Benatar’s version.

I just learnt (following mentions of Tina Turner above) that Simply The Best was originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler.
I love that one and never knew it was a cover! I just really like Kim Deal’s voice.
