Among other things, this thread is going to be illuminating about who the original artist of some songs actually is. I think the version of Mr. Bojangles I know is by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, didn't even know Jerry Jeff Walker was the original. Same with Blue Bayou, I thought it was Roy Orbison (I don't even know Lynn Anderson). I love the Linda Ronstadt version, here's another I really like.
