Cover Me: Original Versions of Rock and Roll Classics

Rock and roll started as rhythmically challenged white people trying to play blues, and really, very little has changed -- many of these songs are better known through their versions by Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Nirvana, etc etc, but they sure didn't start out that way.
