John Lennon
I have always loved his music and his distinctive voice. Has anyone ever really done a good cover of his voice? He is kind of hard to duplicate or copy.

The best I've heard is his son Julian. He sounds a like him to some degree. I love John Lennon's music too, both with the Beatles and solo. From Imagine to Walls and Bridges to Rock 'n' Roll. All great albums by a great singer/writer/musician.

Julian is very similar, and after his first album I had hoped that he would do many more.

My band does a nice version of Cold Turkey & I'm Losing You. My wife & I danced a waltz to Lennon's song Love as the first dance at our wedding. Also, check out Bill Frissell's album of Lennon songs. Samples are on his website. All insturmental, but nice interpretations.
