For a long time I thought ‘At Last’ by Etta James was actually sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Terry Stafford recorded Suspicion - sounds like Elvis

I think Elvis has a lower timbre, but I see what you mean.
shareOne of my favorite bands, Rare Earth, during the height of its popularity, was referred to as, " the only black sounding white group to ever come out of Motown."

I’ve got one with David Bowie too.
I always thought Rebel Rebel was by The Rolling Stones, I only found out it was Bowie when he died.
Badfinger was produced by Paul McCartney and had that Beatles sound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rVt7nZTPBA
Yep, I find Badfinger to sound very Beatles-ey, especially Paulish - did he have a hand in the songwriting too? I've always though the actual songs themselves feel like Paul could have written the same song.
shareYeah, the middle-eight at around the 2 minute mark is pure Macca.
shareAmazing Rhythm Aces - Third Rate Romance. Everybody thought this was Kenny Rogers

Yes, I see what you mean.
shareWe have two artists here in sweden that has virtually identical singing voices and also makes music in the same genre, it's pretty much impossible to tell who it is just by listening to one of their songs.
shareWhich two?

They do sound the same.
Hadn't heard of them before but I kinda bailed on Swedish pop after Nic & the Family. Hej Monica almost killed me. 😅😅
Yeah, i can see why you chose to get out, that song was what we would call a "summer pain" here, a song that is extremely annoying but it is still being played all the time and once you have heard it the thing refuses to leave your head XD
shareIt's the song that introduced me to that term, actually. And then I learned all new fresh hells to me, like Melodifestivalen and Allsång på Skansen. 😅
There's of course tons of cool stuff, too, which I love.👌
lol, luckily it's not all like that, just have to avoid the mainstream music, it's like that for all countries i suppose.
shareOn the Dark Side by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, sounds just like Bruce Springsteen.
shareit does sound like The Boss

shareCounting Crows - Round Here - I thought this was Bob Seger when I first heard it
