Best "Time After Time" cover

[RGA]

Before you say "why a Cyndi Lauper song?" note that this has been covered by over 100 groups including Miles Davis. And it's been done considerably differently over the years.

I am poling 10 versions that I like. I left off Miles Davis' version because there are no lyrics and I figure everyone would probably pick it. I also left off the original Lauper version.

Here are the ones I've included.

1) Korean Singer Whale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64MfY...ayer_embedded#!
Her English isn't spot on but she has a nice voice

2) Tuck and Patti Time After Time (Tuck & Patti) - YouTube

3) Javier Colon Javier Colon: Time After Time - YouTube I must say I like this guy - smooth voice

4) QuietDrive Time After Time - QUIETDRIVE (w/ lyrics) - YouTube
Really liked this harder rock version

5) Rob Thomas Rob Thomas - Time After Time (live, 2005) - YouTube

6) Sarah Menescal Time After Time - Sarah Menescal - YouTube
I like the jazz take on this

7) Cassandra Wilson Cassandra Wilson Time after time - YouTube
The smokey Wilson - very interesting take on it.

8) Nana Mouskouri Nana Mouskouri - Time After Time - YouTube
A bit dated but holds appeal

9) Eva Cassidy Eva Cassidy - Time After Time - YouTube
This one gets my vote - she just raises the bar on the emotion factor

10) Sarah McLachlan duet with Cyndi Lauper Cyndi Lauper Ft Sarah Mclachlan Time After Time Acoustic 2005 - YouTube
Interesting duet - I took this recording to CES and had a lot of people interested in which album it was on. Different voices to be sure but I like it.

There are some people may like such as Matchbox 20 or INOJ (didn't like them myself though).

Cyndi Lauper said that his cover meant more to her than winning a grammy.
