While I adore La Piaf, Marlene Dietrich's version (missing from your list?) is superior in my ears. Smokey, laid back, cool. And I love Louis Armstrong's English version, especially when he sings "en rose" :) Cindy Lauper's makes me want to strangle her if only she didn't sound as if someone had beaten me to it. I have about 10 versions, will use your list and dig up more... yay, mehr treasures.

Just on a point of trivia though, the 50p coin didn't start until 1969, when it was a two-year fore-runner of decimalisation which happened in 1971. It started as a ten-shilling coin, replacing the note of the same denomination. So he may have played maracas on Not Fade Away with a coin in a bottle but it wouldn't have been a 50p. Hey, I told you it was trivial. Great article, as always.

The James cover of China Girl is one of my favorite covers. It's got a lot of swagger to it, and Tim Booth is a wonderful vocalist. That story about The Prisonaires is incredible!
