1. Did Shatner do a cover?

[yvr girl]

2. Sammy Davis Jr. baby

[arwalden]

3. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Piss on the fire, call in the dawgs, and head it on back to Bowlegs.

[nuxvomica]

5. Agreed

[short bus president]

6. How are you on

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken?" Single greatest contribution of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to music. They got nuthin' on Jerry Jeff for Bojangles, tho. ;-)

[ET Awful]

10. The only people who can do "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" correctly

are the Carter Family.

16. Close, but no cigar

I meant the album, not the song. The song is handled quite well on the album, though, with only Mother Maybelle Carter. Not to mention earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Jimmy Martin, and more famous bluegrass names than you could shake a stick at. ;-)

12. Agreed.

:thumbsup:

4. Uh, Shirley Temple?

Oops, sorry, wrong Bojangles.

[riverwalker]

7. Sammy Davis Jr.

He knew lots of real Bojangles. It was personal.

[Longgrain]

8. no, No. NO!

It was Bob Dylan...got it?

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Homer Simpson

When he became a professional bum

11. JJW wrote it..............

see my vote goes for him! I've heard him sing it live.

[short bus president]

15. 'This song was first, uh,

taking shape, about 2 blocks from here, in the first precinct jail."

Best song into ever captured live.

13. David Bromberg

I believe his version is better

[jdots]

14. Skitch Fingerhut's polka version is that so wrong ?

[DrZeeLit]

17. I'm on the Sammy bandwagon. Duh, the ONLY great version!

Akin to Bing singing White Christmas.
Deano singing That's Amore
And Frank... singing just about every other standard.

Sheesh.
