Songs that sound like they were recorded by someone else.


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

Best Creedence Clearwater Revival song that they didn’t record.

It was The Hollies.

A lot of Genesis songs sound like Phil Collins.

"A lot of Genesis songs sound like Phil Collins."

I certainly hope so, mrbobbyth. You see, Phil Collins was in Genesis! He joined the band in 1970 as the drummer, percussionist and backing singer. In 1977, then lead vocalist, Peter Gabriel, left the band and Phil Collins became the lead vocalist, a position he held until he left in 1996. During his time with Genesis, he also released several solo albums.

I know, I was just kidding around. But I was unaware of the Peter Gabriel part.

I can't help but think of American Psycho, every time Phil Collins is mentioned.

Horse With No Name by American sounds like Neil Young.

It really does sound like him, and something he would do so it's not just vocal similarity.

reply

Good one, very similar voice

Maybe he should do a cover.

I thought "Love Yourself" was not sung by Justin Beiber. Not sure who, but definitely NOT Justin Beiber.

Jessie by Joshua Kadison. First time I heard it on the radio way back I was certain it was Elton John singing. ⤵️

1982s “Gloria “ by Laura Brannigan sounded just like Donna Summer. Brannigan loved the comparison but I don’t think Summer did.

For years I thought Rod Stewart sang Bette Davis Eyes

reply

Sung by a woman LOL, but I get what youre saying, Bonnie Tyler sounds very much like Kim Carnes.

reply

I like that song and I was fooled😃

reply

Common misconception.

reply

Have you ever seen Rod Stewart, Kim Carnes and Bonnie Tyler in the same room together?

reply

Now that you mention it...🤔

reply

Same - about Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald.

Also, for some reason, when I heard Where the City Meets the Sea by The Getaway Plan, I was almost positive it was sung by Missy Higgins.
