Below's a first batch of cool ones, and there's more on the way.
John Phillips - Someone's Sleeping
Bonnie Prince Billy - Someone's Sleeping
E.C. Ball & Orna Ball - John The Baptist
Bonnie Prince Billy - John The Baptist
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Babylon System

Brilliant post! Love how you have got the originals with his covers. Cheers
You may also want to check out John and Beverley Martin's 'John The Baptist', which I once saw BPB perform a fantastic version of it, combined with the song here. Good post, ta.
