Saturday video break: For You

Some old school Springsteen, done acoustically by a more current version of The Boss:

That’s from his debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey!. Did you know that three songs (that I know of and heard at least once on the radio) from that album were covered by Manfred Mann? You know about “Blinded By The Light”, and you may know about “Spirits In The Night”. This is the cover from that album that I always forget when I try to list them.

I think all of the Manfred Mann songs I know are covers, but they were a solid band, and there’s your proof of it.

Not every “For You” song is a Springsteen cover. Here’s the Barenaked Ladies with their own “For You”:

If there’s a musical quality I like more than vocal harmony, I can’t think of what it is offhand. Tracy Chapman also has a “For You” song, from her debut album, but the only hit I got for it on YouTube was this audio-only track. Any other “For You” songs out there that you know of/like?
