John Valenti, "Anything You Want." To me, this guy sounded a LOT like Stevie Wonder, although I'm thinking that it was unintentional: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFYOHgEW4vM |

I don't know how it could've been unintentional because he sounds exactly like him. |

The Class Chubby Checker
and chubby covering Hank Ballard and the midnighters the twist.. Poor Hank Ballard. He made the mistake of being born just a little too early. Unfortunatly, Hank's version was released in 1959 as a "B" side of a R&B song. I'm sure mainstream radio didn't pick up on it because of Hank's reputation with all of those "Annie" songs back in the '50s. Hank finally got his due in the Pop market in the '60s with "Finger Poppin' Time" and "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go". Yeah Ballard did have a lot of records during the R&B era that were "questionable" taste at that time. "Work with me Annie" "Annie had a baby"...see what happens when you work too hard... |

^ As the OP, I was not referring to remakes---just songs where the artist (intentionally or unintentionally) sounds suspiciously like another artist.

This guy in a mask named Orion, who sounded just like Elvis. The implication being it was Elvis back from the dead even while denying it.

On AT40-70s (11/72) I heard a song Austin Roberts-Somethings Wrong With Me. This must be where Barry Manilow got the hook for "I Write The Songs' a few years later. I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit.
Also from that same countdown some of the vocals on Osmonds-Crazy Horses sound just like Metallica to me. I never expected to say those two acts soundalike! But they do on this song.
