Here's an oddity: The Cowsills (forerunner and prototype to The Partridge Family) having fun with the old country song "Silver Threads and Golden Needles." It was first recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956.
And Linda Ronstadt adding a little heat to the same song:
If you think that's unusual, from Wikipedia comes a list of performers who've sung it:
The Cowsills hit me at my transition stage. I seem to remember hearing them about the time I hit puberty and was more drawn to those long hair gritty singers....the kind my parents despised and griped about - which provided me with a kind of a twofer. :)
